great pics CloudDriver
My wife hates, and I mean HATES riding when the road drops off on her side. High bridges are a lot of fun with her in the car too. I remember one suspension bridge in Yellowstone where she didn't breathe until we reached the far side of the river.
That said, I showed her your pics, which are great..
I'm told we are taking the long way. :-)
Maybe she should take along some Valium.
I can't recall any suspension bridge in Yellowstone. Perhaps you are thinking about the bridge over the Yellowstone River near Mammoth Hot Springs, which is quite high above the river. In the picture below in front of the white car there are several Bison using the bridge to cross the river, causing the traffic backup.
In case you are planning to use Cody as a base camp for Yellowstone and so will be using the East entrance daily, here is a picture from 2007 showing a portion of the entrance road coming down from Sylvan Pass toward Cody. The road was recently reconstructed at that time and has good guardrails. Also, I think the picture makes the grade look steeper than it actually was. If your wife doesn't like the look of this, the flattest entrance into Yellowstone is from West Yellowstone.
