Sport In Yellowstone

[AHSport]

This is my first entry as a new member.
I worked this summer at Yellowstone Natl Park at Canyon Village. I have a 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands bought in January of 2024.
I spent hours sightseeing and photo taking on my time off work. The Sport handled like a dream on roads..going up and down mountain grades
and using highway pullouts for photography. I averaged in the mid 30s mpg and even got 41 mpg going down a grade.
I also traveled to the Grand Tetons and to Cody, Wyoming where there is a Ford dealership. Here is a photo collage of my Sport at various sites.
Animals loved my car..See the Raven and the Bison...Ha Ha ! I have over 13,000 miles on my car now. My Sport issues were: A rear wheel speed sensor
went out only after a couple of months, and the 2 electronic software recalls, and a tiny pinhole leak on my overflow radiator hose.
All these issues were covered by my warranty. I have not had my Sport off road yet but it handled well in a Spokane, Washington snowstorm and
minus 10 degrees temps. I have stock Pirelli Scorpion tires that came with it.

Just wait. You will add this…. And that… and really want the other thing. And wish someone aftermarket would make that other other thing LOL.

Enjoy it. They are special.

I’d be yelling “Nevermore!!”
(but I’m weird and petrified of birds)

And to OP, those are great pics! If you have more, please share.

Great photos! I’d love to see a full size version of the one in the center — those clouds are incredible!! Yellowstone is such a special place. Welcome to the forum.

Here is a full size photo. This was taken on Hwy 20 that runs out of Yellowstone East entrance to Cody, Wyoming. That was quite a drive that day over Sylvan Pass thru thunderstorms, lightning and hail. . The clouds were ominous but amazing.
That drive along the Shoshone River is spectacular.

Wow, great picture. In case anyone was wondering, those are call mammatus clouds. They are no bueno for flying...

Wait, what?! You used pull-outs? You didn't stop in the middle of the road to take photos like everyone else?

Those are excellent photos -- thanks for sharing!

Done that road a few times. Yellowstone, Tetons and the surrounding area are at the top of my list.
Did my 7th visit to the area in 2023.
