We started off on our final leg of the western excursion to Yellowstone! Today, we drove about halfway, with a stop at Devil’s Tower for some exploration. What a cool rock! This is where they shot the outdoor scenes for the movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Sam hasn’t seen that movie yet, so we will have to rent it to watch it with him.
After a couple of hours hiking and exploring, we headed back on the road. We opted to drive into Yellowstone on Highway 14 rather than use the interstate route, so we crossed over the Big Horn Mountains. What a view!! Some slow, tight turns and a steady climb for a few miles, but it was awesome! Unfortunately it was getting a little late on our descent, so we had to finish the last couple of miles down in the dark – not recommended in an RV. The mule deer were everywhere, and we had to be super careful and watchful not to hit any.
We decided to camp overnight at Greybull, WY at a local KOA. It was a really nice place, although we were only there for the night.
