We decided after what felt like a considerably warmer yet drizzly night of camping in Mammoth that the plan we had of leaving the park via the Northeast exit and seeing a few more sights and wildlife along the way was not a viable option. We failed to look at the map earlier to read that just beyond that entrance, the highway closes due to winter weather in Mid-October. Luckily we noticed that before driving two hours to find that out the hard way.<\/p>\n

As an alternative we exited through the North entrance in Gardiner, MT. We were lucky enough to see some Big Horned Sheep on our way out of the park. We scared them a bit when we slowed to take a picture, they started climbing the hillside as they are known to do, then inappropriateness ensued.<\/p>\n

We headed north to I-90 and across to Billings where we stopped at Montana Brewing Co. for lunch. We tried a couple of their beers, a Red ale and a seasonal Pumpkin ale which Courtney enjoyed.<\/p>\n
