Missoula KOA. |
After getting our things together we then drove on to Bozeman to visit my wife's niece. We stayed at the Bozeman KOA in one of there cabins. The campground was a little smaller than most KOA we stayed at, but it was a very nice campground with clean facilaties. Don't ask me why, I guess I was being stupid at the time, but I didn't take any pictures of our visit with her or her family. I didn't even think about it at the time. For that I am a little upset with myself.

On our way out of Montana, we entered West Yellowstone, we were going to go through Yellowstone on our way to the Teton's, but we were told the road was closed going to the Teton's, so we went the long about way through Idaho, but we needed to go to Idaho Falls for the GPS anyway. Here are a few pics of West Yellowstone. We went through Yellowstone two years ago, but never went to the Teton's.
As we were driving towards Idaho Falls to get our GPS fixed, I thought to myself, hey, you didn't take any pictures of our visit with Valarie's niece. Slap me in the face!

We went to Best Buy in Idaho Falls where they replaced our GPS because the geek squad didn't have any Idea what was wrong with it. It stopped working in California. On our way we stopped in St. Anthony to see the Dunes there.
Sand Dunes In Idaho!
The St. Anthony Sand Dunes consists of more than 11,000 acres of clear, shifting, white quartz sand dunes up to 400 feet high that move about eight feet each year. They are unique in that the dunes support a high amount of exceptional off-road vehicle use on open dunes inside a wilderness study area, attracting riders from all over the West. Primitive campsites are available on the East end of the dunes along the Red Road. A 48 unit campground is located at Egin Lakes Access Recreation Site, located on the south-central portion of the dune camping. Seasonal closures are in effect for most of the sand dunes during the wintertime to no human entry for wintering wildlife. Located 8 miles W. of St. Anthony. Just off Rt. 20 heading towards Idaho Falls.
Now, these sand dunes were okay, but nothing like the one's in White Sands or Oregon, nor the upcoming ones in Colorado, yes they have dunes in Colorado also. I would rate them as 1. White Sands 2. Colorado 3. Oregon Dunes 4. The dunes in Death Valley 5. Idaho. Now that's my story and I'm sticking to it! I rated them by appearance, not by sports activities such as driving on or over them, I'm all about the hike and the pictures! But they may actually be nicer than I think, because I didn't get out of the car but a few times, I didn't get a chance to hike on them, so maybe someday I will re-rate them. I would love to, lol!
Here are some more pictures, Unless I got confused, which I sometimes do, they should all be from our drive through Idaho, but not in any particular order in which they were taken, lol! Now some of them have the Teton's in them, and yes, they were actually taken from Idaho. They say there are two sides to everything, both sides don't have to be in the same place though!
It was a long drive from Idaho Falls back into Wyoming to get to Jackson, but we made it. We got a cabin at the Jackson KOA. It was right on the river. The cabin faced the river so you could sit on the porch swing and watch the river. They also had steps that went down to the river with benches down there to sit.
