Red Lodge Montana sits about 2 hours east of Yellowstone National Park. The most direct route to the park from Red Lodge takes you over Beartooth pass (10,947 ft) into the Yellowstone’s north easternmost entryway via the Beartooth Highway. Our path was clear. Kelly quickly decided that she was going to take a day of vacation on Tuesday to make the drive. Most of today was spent doing work and chores.
In the evening we went into Red Lodge for shopping and dinner. It’s a really cute, little old mining town with more than a few cool little shops. We picked up a fresh can of bear spray, solving one of our misgivings about staying in more remote campsites. On the way back to the trailer tonight we passed the Crazy Creek world headquarters. Love our Crazy Creek canoe chairs! (I shamelessly stole the Red Lodge image from the interwebs. It was a smoky dreary evening with bad light and this cute little town deserves better 🙂
