After the Bike Shack received and mounted the replacement rear tire on Wednesday, August 10th, I left Bozeman and headed back to Gardiner to resume my interrupted visit to Yellowstone National Park. However, I retained my room at the Days-Inn so that I could return that same evening and not have to look for a room elsewhere late in the day. The photos from my ride on Monday before the tire was gashed can be seen here.
Since I only wanted to visit the western side of Yellowstone National Park, including Old Faithful, I decided to reenter the Park through the Northern Entrance from Gardiner and resume my originally planned route to visit the geyser and then exit the Park at the Western Entrance. I returned to Bozeman for the night, where I kept my room at the Days Inn. (Click on map to enlarge.)
