Gallatin National Forest Plateau Road

Today, we explored a dirt National Forest Road, south of West Yellowstone. The only animals we saw were a Yellow bellied Marmot, a few birds and many, many butterflies. The marmot was friendly and as curious of us as we were of it. It seemed to love to pose for the camera. We had our breakfast there as he munched on the flowers and sunned himself. We were on the road for 25 miles and never encountered another vehicle. It was nice and peaceful. When we stopped to take pictures, we could hear no other human sounds.
Here are a few of the 153 pictures we took today, here and at Sawtell Peak.
