063 Cycle Touring the USA (2) - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^58) Wyoming
West Yellowstone – Norris campsite - 52 km

I had a slow start as the day was meant to discover new things and
not do distance, and I was bursting with excitement to investigate
this unique region. At the entrance of Yellowstone Park, the entry fee
was a meagre $12 (valid for seven days). Soon, the road crossed into
the state of Wyoming, where a significant part of the park is situated.
The day was fantastic, and the vistas surpassed all expectations.
Yellowstone is truly one of a kind, a place where the earth bubbles,
splatters and steams. Geysers erupted before my eyes—it was one of
the most surreal places I’ve visited.
Camping was at Norris where a British family travelling the area told
me an online visa application to Canada takes two months. At that
point, I had little hope of securing the visa that would allow me to
cycle through Canada.
