The Antler Lodge was a fine place to stay. After a quick coffee, we headed back up the hill to Mammoth Hot Springs. We thought we going to have a fast food breakfast at the Hotel's cafe, but it turns out they don't do that anymore? So, we had stuff from the cooler!
I have never seen Mammoth so busy! There was NO place to park along the hot springs boardwalk area. Unexplainable. It was suggested people are coming to see the park before it blows up next!
The weather is beautiful, once again. Driving through Lamar Valley we see bison by the thousands, along with a few pronghorns. After passing through the East Entrance and Cooke City, we head up the mountain on the Beartooth Scenic Byway. A beautiful drive with view points where you can see forever in all directions. We reach the summit at almost 11,000 feet.
On the way down we stop at Rock Creek Vista and have fun watching the chipmunks eat nuts and popcorn left by the tourists. A great view from the overlook.
We reached Red Lodge around 5:00, then off to Billings where we found our hotel by 6:00. Nice dinner at Outback.
Four hours to Medora tomorrow.
