The next step in our whirlwind summer tour was to go to Challenger II in Dubois, Wyoming. The most direct route would take us through Yellowstone National Park, so we decided to leave a couple days early in order to spend some time there before proceeding on to Dubois.
We entered Yellowstone late Thursday morning and started exploring. First, we saw a bunch of cauldrons, geysers, etc.

Later in the day, we saw some elk, lots of chipmunks, and a couple marmots. Then, as we were on our way out of the park to find a place to sleep for the night (camping spots in the park being full and us sleeping in the back of the truck), we were stopped by a whole herd of bison crossing the road!

The next morning was more bison, some pronghorn, and then a grizzly (from very far off). Next came Yellowstone Falls, some more cauldrons, and Yellowstone Lake.
The next morning, we saw a grizzly bear from a lot closer (~100 yards). Then we drove south, out of the park, and through the Tetons. We were in Dubois just after sundown, ready to move onto our next adventure: Challenger!
