One night last week we decided to take a trip to West Yellowstone. The town of West Yellowstone, not the national park. Although the town is at the west entrance of the park, we knew it would only be a day trip with the main purpose of visiting the fly shops. What else? And I also knew it would be a great opportunity to stop along the way and take some scenic photos. As the driver, I get to stop where and when I want to.
We were on the road around 8 AM for the 3 hour drive and stopped in Dillon for fuel - for us and for the car. I'd been wanting to visit Beaverhead Rock on the way to Twin Bridges, so this was the first place I pulled over, cameras in hand. It is a historical location, an old stagecoach stop and one of the places visited by Lewis & Clark. The area is now a conservation area by the local rachers and farmers to preserve history and enhance the environment and economy. You can see that the Rock is quite a landmark, easily seen from a distance, even if you are driving a stagecoach.
