Grand Tetton National Park & Old Faithful

Today we head into Wyoming and the scenery is turning green with mountains in the distance, this is getting back to the landscape we prefer.


It's still very hot but a few degrees less than Salt Lake, the route through Grand Teton National Park takes us through Jackson, this place is full of tourists which will be the norm for the next few days, the ski runs look good here so a place to return in the winter.


Riding through the park the views get better and better although it's difficult to capture some of the vistas due to all the trees. 


It's amazing how after a fer days you miss the open road.


Along the road we follow the Yellowstone River with a number of falls along the route, it's been a long day today but some excellent roads.


Grand Teton National Park merges into Yellowstone National Park & we enter from the South entrance, our accommodation is at West Yellowstone so there is only time today to stop at Old Faithful, fortunately we don't wait to long for the show.


As you would expect this area is full at this and most times of the year, we have booked a fixed tent for 2 days at 'Yellowstone Under Canvas' although at $125 a night it's not cheap.
