Cody/Scenic Route/Yellowstone/Grand Teton
One goal on the return south from Glacier National Park was a stop in Cody, Wyoming, which typified life of the Wild West. A stop at the B
uffalo Bill Historical Center was necessary. The museum highlighted the Cowboy lifestyle, the environment of the Plains and the lives of the Plains Indians. It's worth visiting, and the cafeteria served Sloppy Joes, too.
After Cody the scenic drive to Yellowstone was transformative in landscape terms -- from desert-like conditions and canyons of red rock to lush vegetation and white rock. The drive also accomplished another feat -- traveling through all of the five entrances of Yellowstone National Park, this time entering from the east and leaving the southern gate toward Grand Teton National Park.
I was worried that the rainy weather would cause me to travel through Grand Teton another day, but luckily the weather broke on the approach to the park. That was enough time to get some shots of sunshine near the mountain peaks. The cloudy weather actually helped with diversity in the photographic sense , because I had too many shots of peaks in sunshine. We'll see how the shots turn out after the black and white film's developed.
Total travel time was about 13 hours on about 450 miles.
