Grand Teton National Park

My lovely bride sitting on a rock overlooking Jenny Lake in Grand Teton NP.

The Tetons as the sun is getting ready to set.

It was kind of hazy this afternoon...kind of gave a nice effect.

Sun rays beaming in front of the Tetons.

The Tetons in all their glory.  They are really beautiful.

Oxbow Bend in the Tetons.  We went there several evenings near sunset to watch for animals. We saw several moose from  this place....not to mention the beautiful scenery.

Can't recall the name of this.

Oxbow Bend....again.

Peaceful easy feeling.


Don't remember the name.

Yellowstone Lake.


Very peaceful looking....at least to me.


Look at the buffalo.  I you look closely you can see eagles sitting in the branches on the bank of the stream (approximately in middle of picture).

One of these holes is where the elk below was drinking.

Now why would she drink there when there nice fresh water about 50 feet away? :)

Yellowstone

More pictures from Yellowstone.  It it such a diverse place it's kind of hard to believe that you could be in an area with all the hot springs and geysers and go just a few miles an be in a beautiful open meadow or looking at a beautiful waterfall.



A geyser showing off.





No trip would be complete with an Old Faithful picture.


Boiling mud (really it is steam coming up through mud so it looks like it is biling).

Mammoth Hot Springs

Some more Yellowstone pictures.  The Mammoth Hot Spring area is really a unique area.  We had to laugh one evening when we saw elk drink the sulfur smelling water when Yellowstone Lake was not too many feet away. :)

Yellowstone

A few shots from Yellowstone (2007).  The steps are Uncle Tom's trail of course....a long way down and even farther up (just kidding).

Final leg

First, let me apologize for putting up so many pictures but I wanted to finish the blogs for this trip today.  The final leg of the trip we drove the Beartooth Highway in Wyoming.  These are pictures along the way.
Our beautiful, wonderful daughter posing in front of water running off a hill.
Stop along the road looking back at the road just traveled.

Another stop along the way.
We just happened to see Mr. Moose and stopped.  Since I can't speak elk and moose like Betsy I didn't ask any questions. :)
It was kind of cool that day and this picture looks like it was cool.
A little lake along the way formed by melting snow.
If you look closely you can see the road.  I believe we're just getting ready to travel it.
