Visited Yellowstone Aug. 11 to Aug. 18. Along the way we visited the Badlands National Park and Mt. Rushmore National Memorial. Drove 3370 miles (5329 kilometers)
Aug. 11- Everybody got into the car and loaded everything at 7:00. The car would not start. I left the key in the car and the door open. The jump cable saved us. We only wasted 10 min.
After 3 days of driving, we arrived at the East Gate of Yellowstone. A ranger politely informed us that the gate is closed forever because of wildfire. He told us to take a detour via Northeast Gate to go to our hotel, which was 200 miles of zigzag mountain road. We drove 50 miles back to Cody and checked into a Holiday Inn.
