Yellowstone (Day 2)

We stayed the night in Gardiner, Montana. After breakfast, a trip to Bozeman was the first item on the agenda and then from there headed to Virginia City. Virginia City is still worth the visit but it is not as magical as when I was eleven years old.

The very much alive ghost town, Virginia City, Montana, is frozen in time. It is a remarkably well preserved old west Victorian gold mining town just 20 miles west of Yellowstone National Park (90 miles by road). When the gold ran out, there was still enough left so that homes and businesses were occupied, but there was not enough wealth to remodel the buildings. So it froze, and now represents the whole Victorian era. It is the true and original Old West. Calamity Jane lived here for some time.

After walking around town and having lunch we headed back to Yellowstone and entered this time by the west entrance.
