| 112604 We are driving on the abandoned railroad bed that once provided a rail connection between Livingston and Gardiner, Montana. | |
| Trains first started running between the two towns on June 20, 1902. | |
| That's Highway 89 on the other side of the Yellowstone river as it squeezes through "Yankee Jim Canyon." | |
| (Please scroll to the right to see the view) | |
| At Corwin Springs we return to the highway. If you have the time, it is even more fun to continue on the railroad bed all the way into Gardiner. | |
 |
|
| 112604 Can you see the the cliffs to the left of the sign? The red band of rock is called the "Devil's Slide." | |
| We will jump out of the truck here and take a close look at the La Duke Hot Spring. | |
 |
|
| 112604 There's "Devil's Slide" to the left. On the right you can see the wisps of steam from the hot spring. | |
 |
|
| 112604 Some people stopped to investigate. | |
| You can tell when you pass the La Duke Hot Spring in the winter, even at night. | |
| The hot spring heats the road above, turning the freshly fallen snow into slush. | |
