Wild Life in Red Lodge

 On Sunday, we drove a picturesque hour to Red Lodge, which is considered one of the gateways to Yellowstone National Park. The drive was very pretty, with snowy mountains towering over farms and cattle.
 Red Lodge is home to the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary, which gives a home to injured, orphaned or otherwise non-releasable wildlife.

We were able to see a wolf, mountain lion, bobcat, black bear, fox, bison, elk, and a lot more.


 We had lunch and then split up - John and Stace took the bigger three into the mountains to play in the snow, while Genia and I took the little two through town for a little shopping.

Cora was happy to be able to make a snow angel; she'd been hoping to do so when we were planning our trip.

Red Lodge looks like a classic old Western town, and it was fun to walk around. I especially enjoyed shopping once Violet fell asleep in the stroller.
