Sunday, June7, 2009, Yellowstone NP

Today we woke up to a winter wonderland--two inches of snow, and there was still a lot of snow falling. We drove to the nearest ranger station at Fishing Bridge. While we were waiting for information, they were notified that all roads in the park were closed except for the one to the south entrance, which is where we entered the park. Fortunately, the campground at Fishing Bridge is the only one that has full hook ups, and they had openings. It was interesting being snowbound. We guessed there was at least 4" of snow that fell. The evergreen trees were beautiful. It quit snowing by noon, and by late afternoon the roads were clear for traffic.
