Just south of Yellowstone Park are the Grand Tetons. We decided to spend the day driving down to see them. One thing you should know is that we stayed at the absolute top part of the park. We knew that it would take all day to make this drive.
Scott got up early to go out and take pictures of the sunrise in our area.
The light changes constantly. Just in the time it takes to change the settings on your camera, the colors can drastically change.
It’s also nice to get out early, before the tour buses arrive and you don’t have to fight with the crowds.
It doesn’t matter what time you go out, you are never truly alone!
The drive to the Tetons took us six hours to get from the very tippy top of Yellowstone to the very bottom of the Tetons. We made a point to stop along the way down and see all the sights. It only took four and half hours to make the trip back up.
We stopped at Old Faithful (a must see for any first-timer!) Unfortunately we had just missed it and it would be about another 90 minutes until the next one. We decided to skip the show and head on. Here we are at the Grand Prismatic Spring.
The Tetons were beautiful! We did see a bear along the side of the road, but he was hiding behind the bushes and the pictures really don’t show anything.
We got home late and had just enough time to eat dinner in the dining room before they closed at 10:00pm. By the time we made it to our cabin, it was time to pack up and get everything ready to load into the car. Wednesday is a long day of driving and in order to see everything on our list, we need to get an early morning head start. Good thing Scott likes to drive so that I can take a nap.
