Day 24 September 21, 2025 Dubois Wyoming to Arco Idaho 238 miles
The cabin where we stayed last night is at an elevation of over 8,500 feet. The air this morning is cool. Fall is in the air. The office has a continental breakfast for $5.00 each. We had sausage, egg and cheese croissants in the cabin for $1.50 each. Bought those in the frozen food section of a grocery store.
The drive back to the highway this morning was beautiful. Almost as if the trees changed color overnight. We saw a doe and two fawn on the road. They were gone before we got a good picture Or hit them with the car.
The logs used to build some of these homes are huge. They have incredible views. Glad I don’t have to go on their driveway however.
The sun is shining so the trees look like gold. A few are orange or red.
After we got on the highway a small herd of deer crossed the road. By the time we got there they were in the trees and invisible.
The closer we got to the entrance to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons the worse the traffic got. Lots of RVs going both directions. Everyone must be trying to take advantage of possibly the last good weekend.
In one location traffic was really backed up in both directions. Cars were parked solid on both sides of the road. We never saw what they were looking at but we guessed a moose. Oh well we must save something for the next trip.
The skies are looking very ominous. The forecast is for rain this afternoon. Well they got it right. As we started down the Teton Pass the rain started falling. It was good to have the windshield wiper working.
The drive from Idaho Falls to Arco was not very interesting. Not long after getting in the motel room the thunder, lightning and rain began. Just before sunset the sun came out.
