Local residents who spend a lot of time driving through Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks have a sad but inevitable tendency to lose patience when driving through the parks for a “commute,” often taking the sights for granted when pushing to meet a scheduled appointment.<\/p>\n
As awe-inspiring as the image of a majestic moose or lumbering grizzly bear may be, if the roads are clogged with sightseers angling for a photo<\/a> while you’re worried about adding another 30 minutes to a trip already behind schedule, it’s easy to wish you could skip the scenery and just get to where you’re headed.<\/p>\n But there are other times, especially in the winter, when you’d give up a whole day to be able to spend just a few minutes of windshield time taking in one of the parks’ scenic valleys or sweeping hilltops.<\/p>\n A new time-lapse video posted by Vimeo user\u00a0Sunil Seelam<\/a> has managed to satisfy both yearnings at the same time. The four-minute clip shows a frenetically paced 101-mile trip from Grant Village in Yellowstone Park to downtown Cody, Wyo<\/a>. It’s the video equivalent of driving at more than 1,500 mph.<\/p>\n Still, it’s easily possible to pick out landmarks and favorite spots along the way. How many familiar sights can you recognize in four minutes?<\/p>\n
