Day 32: A Beautiful Drive

We left West Yellowstone early this morning thinking we'd get back to I-90 the same way we came, but the GPS told us to turn on Hwy 287 so we did. What a great drive! The drive from West Yellowstone to Ennis MT was perhaps the most beautiful drive ever. There were snow-capped mountains, a lake still covered with ice, a family of buffalo by the side of the road, gorgeous land formations and so much more than I can describe. It was so beautiful that I realized I had tears streaming down my face! I know that sounds silly but I was that overwhelmed.
We stopped in the cute town of Ennis at the Ennis Cafe for breakfast. The rest of the drive was very nice and scenic but nothing could touch the caliber of the first part of the drive.
Our destination today was Coeur D'Alene, Idaho and we arrived here around 2:30pm. We spent the afternoon walking around the lakefront area and driving along the lake road. This evening we went to the charming downtown area for dinner at a place called Crickets.
Tomorrow we head for Seattle. We just have one week remaining on our journey.
