Salt Lake City to Yellowstone National Park

At the age of eight, Mila took her first motorcycle adventure to Yellowstone. During this trip, she and Darren rode through Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. It was also Mila's first time ever visiting Montana.

They split the nights up between camping and hotels while they explored Yellowstone and and surrounding areas. The adventure included a ride through cold rainy weather and mechanical problems. The sum total of the week successfully provided Mila with the full motorcycle experience.
