Day 6 - Thursday 5/25/17
Picture-A-Day Thursday 5/25/17. Several stops in the park today, including a hike at Canyon along the south rim trail and the 328 stairs of Uncle Tom's Trail.
Day 8 - Heading Home
Picture-A-Day Saturday 5/27/17, heading home. On Friday we left the park in the early morning starting our journey home. As we didn't find out that the Beartooth Highway was open we ended up getting on the road earlier than expected, which allowed us time to stop at the Little Bighorn. Somehow we didn't get a picture of the day for Friday, so this one is from Saturday when we stopped at the Devil's Tower.
Day 2 - Early morning just west of Chamberlain SD
South Dakota
Morning of Day 2 in South Dakota. Very little traffic, clear skies, and smooth roads ahead. And 80 mph speed limit!
South Dakota at 80 mph

Day 1 Overnight - Chamberlain South Dakota
Saturday we drove as far as Chamberlain South Dakota and spent the night in this Quality Inn. It was quiet, the room was nice, and the shower was great if you were 4'6". Anything over that and you have to limbo. All in all a nice stop though.
