Once we got there we stayed in a little motel call the Livingston Inn in the small town of Livingston, MT which is about 45 minutes from the West entrance of Yellowstone. In case you were wondering, there are 4 entrances: North, South, East & West. The West entrance is in an even littler town conveniently called West Yellowstone. We got to walk around this old western town and visit all the shops that were open. Since we were visiting out of season, some places were closed until Spring due to lack of business.
When we were done in West Yellowstone, we got back in the car and drove down the street to the actual entrance to the national park. It is literally within walking distance from the town. We happily paid the $25 entrance fee to keep the park running and proceeded on our way with the map of the park and of possible animals we could see which we got from the nice lady at the front gate.
As we were driving we saw lots of animals like Bison, Elk, Mule Deer, Big Horn Sheep, & lots of little critters.
Long Horn Sheep Bison Bison
Mule Deer Buck Mule Deer Doe & Fawn
Not only did we see these animals we saw Old Faithful and had lunch in the restaurant nearby. As we continued on our journey to the North Entrance, we saw a beautiful waterfall, gorgeous mountains, and a view of the park I will never forget.
I am so glad that we were able to visit this beautiful place at least in our lifetime. Its a definite must see for everyone!!
