July 13

Tragedy! The hotel we stayed in decided to clean their pool just the morning we were going to go swimming before heading out to Gardiner, WY! Damn you pool guy!

So, instead we stopped at Chico Hot Springs. Chico is a natural hot springs where they have two large pools, a hotel, restaurant, and a tee pee!

The pool was really wonderful and quite hot. You could see how this hotel would be very popular in the winter as half of the pool was covered and it would be great to swim in when it's cold and snowing!

Onto Gardiner, WY, the northern entrance to Yellowstone. We stayed at a motel which looked a little dicey until we went out onto the patio of the room. It overlooked the river and was fun to watch white water rafters go by.

We had a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant and then got some information about animal spotting from the visitor center next to the Roosevelt Arch.

Suzy -- do you have the name of the hotel? My family is planning to visit Yellowstone next year, so I'm adding places to my file. Did you have to reserve far in advance?
