YELLOWSTONE and GRAND TETONS: June 29 (Day 38)

I woke up right as the sun started lighting up the sky. After packing up I found out it was 5:30 AM, the earliest we have been up all trip. We both later regretted our decision, as we both succumbed to midday naps in the middle of our National Park conquests.

We took a short drive to see Big Sky a well known ski resort in Western Montana.

We ate a quick breakfast the headed on to Wyoming's National Parks.

YELLOWSTONE

Yellowstone is covered in boiling hot springs and geysers just like this.

Old Faithful


Nate was less than impressed


Pretty SCENE


We get it Nate, your not that impressed.

We headed out of Yellowstone to the Grand Tetons, but not before checking out the gift shop.


GRAND TETONS

Our next stop was the Grand Tetons, just south of Yellowstone and home to Jackson Hole, WY. The mountains are pretty impressive.






Traveling around all the National Parks, we were amazed at the amount of people who felt the need to videotape static landscapes. I don't get this. It seems as though one picture would suffice, but instead they have to bore their families with video clips of scenery they could convey much better with a picture.


Like father


Like son

We then took a boat across Jenny Lake and hiked up Cascade Canyon.





Up there we saw a few Marmots




And a Moose.


And the World's Largest Jackalope.
