In reply to sustainabilitea.I guess many of the attractions at the south end of the park are undamaged and available. I'm glad to see that.

In reply to photobyjohnbo.I know, it's terrible. But I read that they've opened in a limited way through one of the entrances. Obviously you won't be able to make the loop, but it will help everyone who depends on tourism. So many houses were destroyed too from the looks of it.

In reply to sustainabilitea.That would be interesting! I am devastated with seeing the videos of the destruction of the roads in Yellowstone.

In reply to Toonsarah.The day we visited wasn’t the best weather, and photos of the viewpoints don’t show the magnitude of the place. It would have been a great place for drone shots, but we couldn’t determine whether they were allowed or not.

We’ve crossed the Missouri many times on our way from first Cleveland and then Naperville to Wyoming and we’ve seen it in full spate, well out of its banks where it flowers through Chamberlain, South Dakota. I wonder what the confluence looks like now or when the Yellowstone flooded recently.

In reply to photobyjohnbo.Thank you, John! Lately, with gasoline going up every week, I've had to rethink my plans. Sigh ...

That looks like my sort of place. I find the history of the early settlers fascinating (maybe because I grew up loving the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder). And the river confluence itself looks worth more than a few photos!
