Day 5 (Aug 8)

Day 5 (Aug 8)

Start:  Badlands National Park, SD

End: Yellowstone National Park, WY
560 miles

Wyoming is different … Jack said, "in South Dakota, villages are small, but at least they exist." After 3 hours of driving, I started looking for a rest stop, and we drove for at least another 50 miles until we came across a town. 

Today, our drive was different: a scenic route. We continue on I-90W fro 300 miles and then turned onto a scenic byway - Route 14 in WY, through the Bighorn National Forest, the Shoshone national forest, and eventually climbed up to Yellowstone National Park! The sulfur smell drifted into our car and it reminded me of  my childhood Yangming mountain home . Yellowstone national park is very different than what I have imagined. From the east entrance, we drove through a forest and stayed by a very large lake (Yellowstone lake).  Tomorrow we will look for  the geysers, hot springs, and wildlife.
