GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

We left Yellowstone by driving back through the park, headed south.  Yellowstone National Park runs right into Grand Teton National Park. 

We knew the weather was going to be "different" this week, but we figured we'd give it a try.

It was rainy, cloudy, windy, cold and sometimes the sun would come out for a few minutes. 

We stayed in a commercial campground in Jackson (Hole).  We couldn't figure out what the real name of the town was.  We think it's Jackson, but a lot of people call it Jackson Hole.  Besides the fact that our campground was terrible, the rest of the time there was great.

Yellowstone is certainly beautiful, but Grand Teton is stunning, shocking and very dramatic.  We think the weather even added to the adventure and beauty of it. 

We saw a lot of Bison and we finally got to see a MOOSE.  A BABY MOOSE at that!  He was deep in the bushes next to a bridge.  His mom was close by in the bushes also.  The baby popped out once in awhile and seemed to enjoy the people watching him from the bridge.  His mom stayed hidden while we were there.   He (she?) was very, very cute.

  1. Hey Guys, We have memories of Jackson, we broke down there! Jackson is the town, Jackson Hole is the ski resort, two different identities. Great town, the RV Park we stayed at was in town but old and is now gone! We'll have to tell you our stories in July. We're off to Cuba on Saturday for some, sun, rum, dancing and friends. Hugs Kelly, Rocket and Mojo (his 17th birthday is tomorrow)
