Day 9 — North Yellowstone Loop Date: Wednesday 9/11/2024 Destination: Northern loop through Yellowstone National Park Travel Time: 9h 36m Miles: 272 Notes: Did a day trip from Bozeman down through the northern loop in Yellowstone, entering at Mammoth and taking the scenic route through Paradise Valley. Saw elk, coyotes (I think), buffalo, and pronghorn. Pretty ride, but cold in places. Used heated grips again. Rode the loop through Mammoth Hot Springs (see video) at the end. Coffee at Tumbleweed Bookstore & Cafe in Gardiner. I kind of dig Gardiner. Good vibe. Had dinner at Mountains Walking Brewing. Rain and wind started. Lights flickered. Waited for rain to stop before riding back to the house. Power out at the house due to high winds. This does not bode well for tomorrow.
