Wyoming Trip 2
For years we talked about a trip to Yellowstone and Grand
Tetons National Parks. This year we finally did it, and what
a trip it was! During Labor Day week, we stayed 7 nights at the Snake River Lodge in Teton
Village at the base of Jackson Hole Ski Resort and 1 night in Gardiner,
Montana, 5 miles north of Yellowstone. Jackson
is a quaint fun town with shops and good restaurants. We spent the first
two days exploring the Jackson area and Grand Teton National Park. The
day after Labor Day, when tourists left to get their kids back in
school, we headed into Yellowstone and spent the day
there. It rained Wednesday, so we relaxed in our room and spent
time in Jackson. Thursday we checked out, crossed over the Teton Pass into
Idaho, then headed north to Yellowstone again, this time via the town of
West Yellowstone. We spent Thursday in the park, that night in Gardiner
and again Friday in the park. Over 3 days we saw buffalo, elk, bighorn
sheep, moose and bear. It was a great vacation as you will see
from the photos on the 12 pages of this section. |
