Ride to Dinosaur National Monument

The plan, after the funeral, was to ride through Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park into Dinosaur National Monument. However, after talking with family members who came up through the park, we learned that there was construction and the park was packed with activity. We were also looking at a 600+ mile day. It was just too much to accomplish in one day. Besides, we’ve been to the former two parks before so best to skip them and get more time in a national monument which we hadn’t seen yet.

Here is the map of our trip to back home. In this case, we split the trip into two days where we could arrive in Dinosaur National Monument on Day 1 and drive the rest of the way home on Day 2. The following are pictures from the ride:

I do, however, regret not getting to ride Highway 20/16/14 out of Cody into Yellowstone though.
