Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, 1992


 

Roadside snow hole.

Drove to Wyoming from Wisconsin and spent first night in snow hole on side of road at Yellowstone parking area.

Packing up

We carried packs and pulled "boats" behind.

Snowcat

The road through the park is closed but you can get a lift on the snowcat.
