We
woke to ice on the inside of the windows and you could see your
breath! So Roy got out at 8am to put generator on, the sun came over
the hill at 8-30am and we got out of our cosy bed at 9am. Temperature
was minus 8oC first thing and the warmest it reached this day was
14oC but the sun was out all day making it wonderful.
We
have visited Yellowstone five times now but we have never seen as
many bison, hundreds and hundreds of herds between Mammoth and Lamar
Valley.
We
did a lovely six mile hike at Slough(Slew) Creek – had fun avoiding
the 100+ Bison herd who were blocking the trail. We saw Pronghorn and
Elk so high up on the mountain and as we drove back through Mammoth
the Bull Elk was putting on a show, bugling and attempting to mate
with the many females around. Typical – none were interested!
