Bighorn and Shoshone National Parks

Drove through Buffalo Bill State Park, Shoshone National Forest, and Bighorn National forest today. We came unprepared for snow (sandals and summer tires) but did fine through the mountains and made it all the way to Yosemite... which was closed. Due to avalanche conditions we were unable to enter the park where we had intended on entering on our original route and had to circle north to come into the park from another entrance. While driving through we'd see glittering eyes in our high-beams off the side of the road, and stop to illuminate them. Herds of Buffalo were moving their young through the area, and it was fascinating to watch how the large males and females protected the babies by walking less than 1ft on either side of them.

Note: I had a GPS tagger on my camera today, so if you click through to flickr there is a map of exactly where each picture was made!
