Arrived in Yellowstone the Day of the 2022 Flood / How We Spent Our Week Outside the National Park 

We landed from our flight last week the day they announced Yellowstone was closed due to the floods. We were already there & decided to make the best of it…
We enjoyed Dubois, Togwotee Pass, Painted Hills, Grand Teton, Rockefeller Parkway, Cody, Buffalo Bill State Park, Wind River Canyon, Boysen State Park, Chief Joseph Hwy, Beartooth Hwy, Cooke City & Silvergate.
It helped that we were familiar with the area & some of these places outside the park we’d visited before, but had to rush through. This was an opportunity to take some time. Working around the road closures made for some long driving days, essentially traveling the winter route most local residents would use.
We saw grizzlies, black bear, moose, coyotes, eagles, elk, mountain goats, deer, bison, pronghorns, marmots & pikas.
We accessed Beartooth Hwy on the WY side from Chief Joseph Hwy, we didn’t know what was open until we drove up to the construction point & asked. The nice lady driving the pilot car informed us that we could drive up to Long Lake, & there was a closure gate just beyond it. The situation out there seems to be changing daily, so part of what we experienced may no longer be relevant.
This is my absolute favorite area to visit anywhere, I can't imagine spending a week out there and not having a fantastic time.
