You are so lucky! A few years back, I took my young son out of school for a week in October and we drove to West Yellowstone and through the park to the Northern Entrance. No one was there and everything was closed. It was so incredibly beautiful! Too beautiful for words. So peaceful and quiet. I’ve been there several times hiking and I have stayed in the magnificent Yellowstone Hotel. I went up to the 10,000 foot peak on what I think it was called Mt. Washburn. The view up there was extraordinary overlooking the Rocky Mountains. People talk about the Northern Cascades as being so spectacular here in Washington state, but they really have nothing on what you see there in Wyoming. OMG! Unbelievably craggy, jagged peaks as far as the eye can see. The other coolest thing I saw was the River that is warm. I forget what it’s called. We were there in the morning and all sorts of animals were in or near the water and it was steaming as it wound through the canyon. So beautiful. Living in Montana will be a treat for sure.Snow fall and melt will be the determining things for silt and cleanliness of water. Heavy snowfall and slow melt are best. I rarely if ever see the big fluffy snow flakes. We get a very dry snow here. I am at 6700 foot elevation and usually a bit colder than the rest of the state. Very dry snow which is awesome. I cleaned my porch with a broom for years. No ice on it at all. Let me know when you want to visit Yellowstone. I work in a couple of hotels here.
