We went to Yellowstone, Cody, Wyo, the Little Bighorn Battle field, Virginia City and lots of lesser know sites in between. The cabin was in Fishtail Montana. That is just east of Red Lodge. It made a good base for our exploring. I had been all over that country a number of times over the years. The wife had never been to that part of the world.
Thoes kind of lesser sights are what I like seeing the most it seems like. They are like hidden gems. I like National parks too except the crowd's is what i don't like about them.
Yellow stone I hear is really something to see. I hear also it is really packed with turoist. More turoist there than most others from what i understand.
We went to massiverdi national park ( probably spelt it wrong ) but out side of all the turoist I was glad we went to see it. It was about the Hopi Indian cliff dwellings. Really interesting.
Another National Park in Colorado called the Great Sand dunes located in the San Louis Valley was great too.
Black Canyon near Montrose was really something. Don't think it was a National Park but was just as nice as anything else.
There were alot of lesser sights that I enjoyed as much if not more than the national parks. What I was calling hidden gems. Like near Fulton New Mexico their is a volcano. It's I think a National monument instead of a park. I drove by it and didn't know it was there.
Then we stopped at a state road side rest area in the pan handle of Oklahoma that was I thought very interesting. We stopped about an hour before the sun had started to set.
Where you pulled off the high way there was some bulliten board's under like a pavillian that had a map of the rest area.
Didn't realize until I was looking at the map the main part of the rest area that had the rest rooms was located a little futher off the highway down a little access road.
The wife had already read the map and walked to the rest rooms. When i read caution signs saying stay on the trails, stay on the side walks, watch for rattle snakes !!! Lol !!! I thought boy I better catch up with the wife before she gets snake bit !!! There isn't much telling how much of a fine I would have got for every rattle snake that would have died if it had of bit her.
So luckily I caught up with her before anything like that happened and explained to her about staying on the trails before she got snake bit.
That little place was called glass mountain near I think Edmond Oklahoma.
Thoes little hiddie holes are are pretty good sights to see in them selfs if you happen onto them in my opinion.
