Friday Day 6: Yellowstone - Jackson Hole WY, 157 miles

Snow came in again overnight and closed up all the high roads in Yellowstone. This was not good considering that we were planning on heading back down to Jackson to the south over these now closed exists. The only road that was open was the west exist out of Yellowstone that would take us into Montana and then south towards Jackson around the backside of the Tetons. It would add about an hour to our trip, but we're not in a rush so we figured it would be a good option to try something new.

Now they sure have very liberal road controls in Montana and Idaho as you can see by the 'open' road below that looks like it's barely been plowed.

Not to fret, we took our time driving through some amazing country side with occasional snow as well as beautiful sunshine breaking through the clouds.

We got back to Jackson at a descent hour and it begin to snow again so we figured it might be a good time to take Keira for a dip in the heated indoor pool.

On the way, Keira got to witness her first snowfall and was mesmerized by the flakes as the fell from the sky.

We had the whole pool to ourselves and Keira got a chance to stretch out and swim around like a little tadpole.
