Today, we continue to embed the views of the magnificent Grand Tetons in our memories as we drive north to Yellowstone National Park where we will see the one and only Old Faithful geyser! Watch in amazement as this predictable geyser erupts and sends a fountain of steam more than 60 feet into the air; certainly a sight you will never forget!

For lunch today, we’ve made plans to pack you a lunch for a picnic here in Yellowstone.  Be on the lookout for large free-roaming herds of bison and elk!  The beauty of Yellowstone is something that transcends words.  There is not enough room here to try to describe the wonders waiting for us in Yellowstone. After a big day in Yellowstone, we return to Cody for a chuckwagon meal and show at the Cody Cattle Company before retiring to our hotel for some rest before another exciting day tomorrow.

It’s time to leave Wyoming behind and turn our attention to South Dakota for the next part of our journey with a scenic drive through Spearfish Canyon. This 19-mile gorge is flanked by rock walls of pink, gray and tan limestone, sporadically dotted with cascading waterfalls. We will stop along the way so you can take pictures of this magnificent terrain. We will be overnighting in the Rapid City area for the next two nights.
