Day 23. West Yellowstone to Coulter bay on Jackson lake in the Teton National park. 90 miles
Went through the gate at west Yellowstone at 6 am and 30 degrees. Very cold but needed to get a jump on the traffic through the park. With no one at the gate I quickly entered the park and made my way along the Madison River looking for animals. With the cold and fog rising, this made a very beautiful ride but my feet froze. By 8:30 I was past the turn to old faithful and made my way to west thumb on Yellowstone lake. But then the rode to the south entrance narrowed to no shoulder so I rode as fast as I could over the continental divide 3 times and then down a huge hill to then entrance. Met t and l for lunch then they said the best camping was at coulter bay another 17 miles. Now worries fore I had a great Wyoming shoulder and amazing views of the Tetons all the way. When I arrived at the Aliner, t and l were on a walk. Soon they returned to tell me the story of the bear the just saw. Scared the begeegezes out of my sis and we sat for hours laughing at her story.
