Tuesday September 22: Grand Teton National Park - Wyoming


It was a great celebration of my 66th birthday Sunday with a great cheesecake! Of course we had already celebrated when Becky was with us last weekend but nothing wrong with 2 celebrations, right?

And my present from everyone was a complete set of minions!! We had managed to find two of them when they came with McDonald's Happy Meals but it was fun having the whole gang in for the party :-) Becky took 3 with her to LA and one joined John (a friend of Matt's that is a Raven's fan - but a good guy regardless). The rest are headed to the trawler!

The flight to Salt Lake City and drive part way to the Teton's yesterday went well.

Another area of our country that just can't be captured in pictures. It's such a beautiful mountain range.

The ash trees are all changing colors and stand out in contrast to the evergreens. This is overlooking the plains north of Jackson.



We stopped at several visitor's centers (most have a movie - my favorite!!) but always lots of information about the area.

Tonight we're staying at Heart Six Ranch about 30 miles south of Yellowstone. The views are crazy.

And it really is a dude ranch although we aren't taking in any of the activities.

The lodge seems to have an abundance of "carnage" on the walls as our friend Miriam would say.

Kind of reminded us of the farm ......

Yellowstone tomorrow -

  1. The views look wonderful. Sometimes it's nice to get off the boat and see the interior of this beautiful country. We are taking a trip to the west coast in October...lots of hiking and sight seeing. A break from our regular form of travel. Thanks for sharing.
