We left Pocatello bright and early for a big drive to Yellowstone Park. The forecast was for snow, and it sure did.
We drove through Teton Park on the way to Yellowstone, and it started snowing then.
Of course we only had the top down for the photo, but we did wonder if our insurance would cover the car being filled up with snow. Then we drove up in to Yellowstone Park, and the further we drove, the harder it snowed. We went to look at the Old Faithful Geyser that goes off about every 90 minutes. We did see it, but only just. It was snowing so hard we could hardly see the water. It was pretty impressive still. Even though the weather was so cold there was still a lot of people there, even some on motorbikes! (It got down to 0 degrees C!)
This is the car after about 90 minutes. Lucky we hadn't left the top down.
The highest point of Yellowstone is almost as high as Mt Ruapehu, so no wonder it was snowing. It was much lower at the northern end and was almost sunny there.
Along the way we saw bison, elk, and even a grizzley bear (for about 10 seconds)!
We only caught the backend of the bear, buy the time we got our camera out, he was heading off.
