This podcast covers the section of road from Canyon all the way down to West Thumb. We will cross into the Hayden Valley which is home to the largest free roaming herd of Bison on earth and hear a couple of great stories that took place right where you are now driving.  We then make a stop at the Mud Volcanoes then hit Yellowstone Lake where I will regale you with a very personal near death story about yours truly and where you can see where I worked as a kid and then where you can hit the beach along the lake. .  We will listen to a little Mozart while we sip a cocktail on a beautiful veranda at the Lake Hotel before we dine at the best restaurant in the park. We talk about how you can rent a boat so you can explore the gorgeous Yellowstone Lake from the water.   And we will finish it off with what has become one of the more popular spots my explorers and a spot that 99.9% of people just drive right past because it looks like a pile of rocks, which it is, but what a hip pile of rocks it really is!
