When we left Yellowstone National Park to head to Jeremy's second fair, we decided to travel out the Northeast entrance of the park since we were headed to the Eastern part of Montana. We were very happy with our choice.
We drove the Beartooth Highway. We went up and up and up, then we went down and down and down. It was so gorgeous up there. Alpine meadows and snow and lakes. Think Heidi meets The Sound of Music.
In fact at one point we even had mountain goats cross the road in front of us. It was like The Three Billy Goats Gruff, though one was a billy goat, one was a nanny, and one was a kid.
Oh, it was beautiful. We drove up into the clouds.
As we drove down the other side, the scenery was much different.
You could see where glaciers had carved away the valley. So many switchbacks to get up and down.
Oh, it was so wonderful. It was like being at the top of the world. There was even an area on the way up the mountain that had the name of Top of the World.
Even though it took longer to drive along that highway instead of the freeway to the north, it was so worth it with what we got to experience.
It was a great drive.
