This podcast covers how you need to go through the West Entry Gate which is by far the busiest entry gate into Yellowstone Park and this gorgeous 14 mile section of road all the way to Madison Junction.   We will pass through Christmas Tree Alley and then look for Bald Eagles on the banks of the Madison River on our way to the 7 mile bridge and a couple of interesting stories about this area.  I will also give you the history of how the idea of the worlds first national park came to be when 3 Brothers bravely entered Yellowstone in the 1850's and show you the three iconic peaks named after them that thousands of people see everyday but don't even know are there.  And tell you what animals you will see and more importantly, when you can see them, in the two meadows along this section of road and also how to not get stuck behind them as you drive down the road.  Plus one story about possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen in the park in 60 years.
