Here is our route: View Larger Map We shall slip down through Provo Canyon tomorrow catching up with I-15 to continue our journey. Mountains to our west have peaks as high as 11,750, with many ranging from 9000 to near that of Mt. Timpanogos at 11,750. To the east the peaks range from 9000 to 10,500.

Sylvan Pass-- East Entrance to Yellowstone Yellowstone Lake The Obstacle!  Slowly ambling ... Right down the  Middle of the  Road! Excuse me,   I'll be moving on....! What a riot! Mike was driving, and had decided NOT to hit the horn! She even pulled over to the side, behind the red car, just to give the guy some room even tho' we were bigger than he!!  He finally got on the side, and the traffic that he had stopped moved once again....! What fun it was to drive slowly through Yellowstone! Our last time was in mid May, 6 years ago, and this is what we saw: Yellowstone, 5-16-2008 We stopped along side Yellowstone Lake heading south to enjoy the view. Are you noticing the colors?!
