From Twin Falls, Idaho to West Yellowstone Montana

After all of the driving yesterday we decided to get a little exercise this morning and took an early morning swim and dip into the hotel hot tub. After that we wondered over to a local family run diner for our complimentary breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and toast. It was just the right amount to get us started.

Once we'd checked out we took a short drive over to Shoshone Falls, which is a beautiful natural area. Just check out the pictures!



After a few hours soaking up the sunshine and the scenary our road trip continued again with more air conditioned and cruise controlled travelling until we got peckish and dropped off the interstate for a Subway (I eat two a day)



Back on the road again... brm.. brmm ... brm... until we saw a site of geological interest; alongside a rest area was a walk which took us through a landscape created by liquid MAGMA which had then cooled and turned into spongy rock. It was like being on the moon! (kinda)



After another hour or so of driving we finally reached the state of Montana which is beautiful! Our hotel (Brandin' Iron Inn) was only a short journey once we'd crossed the border. From what we've seen of the scenery so far it's all change again, we really are getting a real cross section of America :)

Beautiful and I see you drive a green goddess.
Watch out for bears and cougars in Montana,
Bring back a pebble from each state - for geological interest , of course.

We would if we could, but they don't let you steal bits of the country and I don't fancy going to jail :)

We saw some Bison today - just about to update the blog!
