We’re approaching the end of Our First Rooftop Tent Adventure! On Day 14, we bounced between Montana and Wyoming, explored a piece of Yellowstone National Park, and ate more delicious food.
Trip Diary Begins:
Tuesday, May 30
Feeling sleepy and not prepared to start our day, we snoozed the alarm multiple times. It was a sweet morning of prolonged cuddles and coziness. Eventually, it was time to get on the road once again. I stayed awake for a bit during the drive, but since I’m lucky enough to be a passenger princess most of the time, I got to sleep even more in the car.
We stopped at a coffee shop, where I had matcha and a burrito, and Jon ordered a bagel sandwich and a coffee. We listened to more of the Therapy Gecko podcast as we made our way to the Wyoming side of Yellowstone.
Fun Fact: Yellowstone is primarily in Wyoming, but a small percentage of the park is in Montana and Idaho.
As we drove through the park, we saw a ton of bison on the side of the road, which was super cool. I love seeing wild animals (and eating them — bison are delicious. Sorry!). We even saw some cute little baby bison. 👶🦬
We then enjoyed a lovely hike on Dunraven Pass. There was still a good amount of snow this time of year, and it was a bit later in the day, so we only hiked about half of it. Regardless, it was a beautiful hike, and the weather was quite pleasant.
Unsurprisingly, we found ourselves in some crazy traffic on the way out of the park. We also saw more bison (yum).
Back in Montana, we went to a restaurant called Slippery Otter Pub. We kicked things off with jalapeño wontons with huckleberry dipping sauce (they were 🔥), followed by elk and bison burgers (like I said, bison is delish).
It was time to find a camping spot for the night. The evening was rainy—moody, cozy, and atmospheric. We watched the series finale of Succession in the tent before going to sleep. It was the perfect cozy end to our day.
Bison! lol! A majestic creature & agree yummy too!
Another fun read. Made me hungry too!
Beautiful pics too!
