Day 28

Date: July 8
Mileage: 34.5
From: 19 mi NW of West Yellowstone, MT
To: Madison Junction, WY (in Yellowstone)


Tonight we’re at the Madison Junction campsite in Yellowstone in Wyoming! Big Day!

We rode into West Yellowstone and I bucked the headwind for almost all of the 19 miles. West Yellowstone was ok—I got some expensive gloves and some new bar tape (both of mine are giving up the ghost). We ate at Wild West Pizza at the recommendation of the bikeshop girl, and it was very good. Beth and Greg came in and found us when they saw our bikes outside.

We saw bald eagle, elk, and moose from the road through Yellowstone. Traffic is a little unpredictable/dangerous with all of the drivers gawking and pulling off and being irratic. There was also a family of bison by the river by the path in our campsite! Two big ones and a baby. We can check that off of our list!

Moose! (At least I think these are moose... maybe elk?)


One of many somewhat dangerous pull-offs with indecisive drivers a-plenty
