Day 2 - Montana Roadtrip
After breakfast and a thorough check of the truck and trailer, we "tried" to leave Idaho Falls. When I say "tried" it was because we asked the GPS (which I love traveling with) to find us the closest gas station. After a 20 minute detour through industrial warehouses and a residential neighborhood, the GPS announces "destination on the right". It was actually a baseball field and no gas station in sight! Well, that was fun (but we did see some great old homes and beautiful flower gardens)! So we backtracked to the freeway, found another exit with a "fuel" sign and rolled in using whatever fumes were left in the tank.
We traveled through Targhee National Forest on our way north. Beautiful forests and incredible mountains all along the way. The picture of the deer at the top are some of the many we saw. Make note that they're hiding behind a "no hunting" sign!
We continued through the Gallatin National Forest, Ashton, and West Yellowstone. We followed the Gallatin River to Big Sky, Montana. The river valley offered incredible views at every turn! Steep mountains, sheer cliffs, thick pine forests and one of the most beautiful rivers we have ever seen. The Gallitan River is known for world class fly fishing opportunities. Now I know why we have a fishing pole and tackle box in the "Vice Trailer"!
We arrived in Big Sky under some cloud cover, but it was still an opportunity to off-load the bike and head out for a ride.
