Ride to Gardiner, MT

Today’s the warmest day this week so we decided it was ride day. The temperatures have been in the 50s and low 60s and today’s high was a high of 65. We usually leave for our motorcycle rides around 10 AM and at that time it was a balmy 45° out. So we bundled up in extra layers and hit the road.

Since it was so cold, I was wearing my winter gloves, which are not easy to take on and off so no pictures at the beginning part of the ride. But we did see two bear.

We are headed to Gardiner Montana going out the north west entrance of the park. After making a pitstop halfway through the park, it was a little bit warmer so I could switch to my summer gloves and get some pictures. Good thing because we saw a bear number three. We also saw several elk this time while we were out. of course we saw bison because you always do here. We also saw some pronghorns some swans and a pelican.

We stopped in Gardiner for lunch where Mike and I split a bison burger. It taste just like a hamburger. We didn’t notice any difference. We sat along the river and saw a couple of rafters go by. I bet that water was really cold.

On the way back into the national park, we rode under the Roosevelt arch. We also rode past Mammoth, Hot Springs, and a few waterfalls.

It was a beautiful ride day
