Part 3 of our trek across the United States and Canada begins with the last leg of our Journey north from Salt Lake City to Jackson Hole… I’ll let the photos do the storytelling.

Looking back towards Jackson on the road to West Yellowstone.
The main street of West Yellowstone. Since the primary method of transport is tracked vehicles (snowcats, snowmobiles) the wide, generally empty streets are not plowed which makes for alot of fun in a rental car with a decent handbrake…
An eerie forest in Yellowstone National Park…

Bison forage for grass deep under the snow…
