Thursday 6th October

We planned to drive to Jenny Lake through Yellowstone as the East gate was open when I checked on the internet this morning. We were on the road by 10am and had an uneventful journey until nearing Yellowstone when it started being a bit snowy.

Thr ranger at the East Gate seemed to think we'd be okay so we continued through a winter wonderland until a snowstorm in the Sylvan Pass which was 'exciting'! The road around Lake Yellowstone was quite snowy

and the snow continued until we passed West Thumb when the sun came out, much to our relief!

We didn't see any bears but we did see a lonely bison a little bewildered that his grass had been covered with snow and an elk at the side of the road.

As we neared Jenny Lake it started snowing again and it continues as we sit in our lovely little cabin. Hopefully it will clear tomorrow and the forecast is for increasing sun over the next few days.
