WINTER GETAWAY

Absaroka Mountains towering above Paradise Valley, gate to the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park. They looked ominous  today, covered by moisture engorged clouds. We'll be driving into the Valley on our way to Chico Hot Springs and Gardiner, MT. the north entrance to Yellowstone

We stopped overnight in Livingston, MT, one of the major railway centers in Montana from the early 1900's.  We stayed at the historic Murray Hotel in downtown Livingston, across the street from the rail yard.

 Built in 1904, the Murray was popular with railroad passengers visiting Yellowstone National Park, and others heading to new horizons out West. As the sign in the memorabilia cabinet reads: "Fireproof and Strictly Modern"
