I stayed at the Gros Ventre campground one night. The views of the Tetons were not great due to the smoke blowing in from other areas. I’m not complaining since we’ve not had any big fires. Driving over to Antelope Flats I was lucky enough to see a moose cow and her twin calves. Can […]
If you’re in the Jackson, WY area this is a gorgeous place to visit. My favorite part was the Invisible Boundaries exhibit that is about the elk migration in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The video from the exhibit can be see here: https://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/short-film-showcase/take-an-epic-journey-with-the-elk-of-yellowstone?source=searchvideo Photos from the Invisible Boundaries exhibit
The Moose Ponds trail runs south of Jenny Lake to a couple of small ponds that I visited in hopes there would be moose around. I wasn’t disappointed — a cow and her calf were there. The calf disappeared in a shady spot to nap while mom munched away at vegetation on the bottom of […]
Since I was transferred to the Jackson Visitor Center I thought I better get a far more detailed view of Grand Teton National Park so I stopped at every single thing that I haven’t stopped at on previous trips. The day started out stormy, cleared to glorious and ended with monsoonal rain when driving out […]
Pumice Point on Yellowstone Lake West Thumb I had been all that excited about seeing West Thumb and ended up absolutely loving the area. The whole idea of steaming pool right next to and even in Yellowstone Lake was amazing. The combination made for stunning views. The water was so clear. Hot water escaping into […]
Mud Volcano Area The Dragon Volcano really did sound like it was breathing. Bubbling mud in Mud Volcano Lehardy Falls
After a failed attempt to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone the day before, I was up and on the road early. Falls from Artist’s Point The sun wasn’t fully on the falls yet. I was disappointed the Uncle Tom’s Trail and Inspiration Point were both closed (looked like they had been since 2017 […]
My plan was to head back to see Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, but made stops along the way. As it turned out the Grand Canyon area was so jammed I couldn’t get in anyway. Decided to see it bright and early the next day. Bear in the Tower area. Calcite Hot Springs Alpine wildflowers […]
From Lamar Valley I headed over to Mammoth and was lucky enough to see a black bear up in a meadow. Stopped at Undine Falls. Mammoth Hot Springs Not my favorite part of Yellowstone, but glad I saw it for myself. When I was headed back to the truck there was an elk cow resting […]
Lamar Valley deserves it’s own post. It was gorgeous and the wildlife was spectacular. I don’t know about anybody else, but when a bison gets up on the road, stops, and glares at my vehicle it makes me nervous. The bison look a little scruffy because they haven’t lost all of their winter coats. Valley […]
