Bozeman - Gateway to Yellowstone NP, Montana
Sunday, March 1, 2009 at 2:50PM Traveling from Utah (Canyonlands) to Bozeman, Montana was a long stretch of driving. The temperatures dropped as we traveled north, before the mercury eventually settled on 17F (-8C). Accommodation could not be found in many towns due to the accommodation being taken by participants in events such as wrestling championships and cheer leader competitions (don't ask). Eventually, after driving a further hour or so, a hotel was discovered in Idaho Falls, Idaho at 0200! Arising the next day after 0900 (after sleeping heavily for 8 hours or so) we departed for Bozeman.
The scenery from the highway from West Yellowstone to Bozeman was outstanding; snow scapes, frozen rivers, conifers and birch laden with now and ice - simply beautiful. If an iconic image can be held of USA in the grips of winter, then this surely would be it.
Image processing has been slow due to the need for sucking up the miles to be able to reach Yellowstone on the allotted time. Hopefully, I'll have a few spare moment to process a few images to add to this blog, however, I thought writing as few points here and there to be more important than image processing.
