We drove the 255 miles today to Laird Hot Springs through some more forests and then some breathtaking mountains. The day was filled with wildlife. First a moose and her calf, then a Canadian Lynx, then some Big Horn sheep and their kids, and a herd of buffalo and their calves, and two bears wrestling along the road, and finally some cute squirrels. The 5 hour drive was beautiful.
Laird Hot Springs campground was full and we had the option to pay for a spot in the overflow lot. Nope, just paid to use the hot springs, then used their picnic area to bbq some chops and potatoes for dinner. We used iOverlander to find a spot, but the past few days the trees and lack of cell service hindered calls, etc. So we found a top of the mountain spot with amazing views.
Here are some more photos from the day. https://www.overlandadventureexcursions.com/photos-albums/nggallery/album/20250710-to-laird-hot-springs
