A driving day. From Bozeman we drove down 191 to West Yellowstone. After that we took 20, intending to look at the St Anthony sand dunes in eastern Idaho. We found the dunes -- a fairly large area, 5 miles by 30 miles, and they were nice dunes. But the whole area seemed to be open to dune buggies and ATVs (thanks, BLM) so we weren't inclined to do any hiking. A far southern area didn't have any road access -- and probably was open to ATVs -- We thought it was a wasted side trip. Two horns down on my viking helmet.
The drive itself was nice. 191 follows the Gallatin river -- mostly in a deep and steep canyon -- toward the south end the canyon opened into a wide valley leading to West Yellowstone. Weather was partly cloudy and warm (except at the pass altitude: 6500') with a cold wind. DA
