After our first full week here, we took a three day weekend trip to Yellowstone National Park. West Yellowstone, Montana, is about 110 miles northeast of Camas NWR.
On our way to the Park, we followed the Mesa Falls Scenic Bypass (SH-47) that parallels US 20.

| We did see three black bears, a cub and one grizzly. We only got a good picture of this one. |
 |
| The last morning we awoke to seven inches of fresh snow. What a treat to see the Park in its winter coat. |
 |
| Who would have thought a snowball fight in mid-May. We enjoyed watching them melt in the hot pools. |
 |
| Norris Geyser Basin trails were beautiful but not busy. |

We've been to Yellowstone a couple of times and just love it. You got some great shots, and I'll bet that throwing snowballs into the hot springs was a hoot.
Going in May is a great way to miss the crowds. We went one in May, and once in July. July was a tad bit crowded, to say the least!!
The two other times we were here was during the summer. Loved May so much better.
We enjoyed Yellowstone as well, and yes, the food was great and reasonably priced.
