Yellowstone National Park - Day 3

We decided to get up early again and drive straight to where we saw the wolf and cubs. No wolf sighting, but saw pronghorns, coyote and buffalo, then continued touring sights on the northern loop including walking and driving the northern and southern rims of “The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone” - Upper and Lower Falls, Lookout Point, Grand View, Artist Point, Inspiration Point (Uncle Tom’s Stairs was closed). Ended our day with dinner at Cowboy’s in Gardiner, MT.

Leaving Yellowstone National Park

Leaving YNP was an adventure. There was snow and some ice on the ground, but there was no indication that any of the roads through the park were closed or particularly hazardous. I checked the YNP and the Wyoming DOT websites, and no road closings noted. In hindsight, I should have called the park hotline as well. Turns out that the south exit was indeed closed. After a 50 miles or so trip from north to south, we had to turn the rig around (quite the challenge) and back track some miles to find the west exit into Utah. Just thankful we made it safely out of the snow and ice. The truck really came through for us. Here is a VIDEO LINK of our drive through Yellowstone up to the point where we had to turn around.
