Leaving Yellowstone and heading to the Tetons.

8-30-12

When we left West Yellowstone for the Tetons we had to drive through Yellowstone. We were lucky as the smoke from the wildfires were gone from the park while we were there, but as you can see the smoke was starting to come back in.

This was the first bull elk that we saw in Yellowstone.

Along with the bull there were several cows. One of them had a tracking collar on her.

While driving out of Yellowstone we crossed the Continental Divide 3 times.

We are now back entering Grand Teton National Park.

It was smoky down in the Tetons which made the view of the mountains muted.

This bull moose was just sitting in the river as we drove on the road to the campground. We hope there are moose in the campground again this year.

For those like me who don’t speak French, Gros Ventre is pronounced Grow Vaunt.

Jane said, take me for a ride on the bike and I will take you for a ride in the kayaks.

We got into camp just in time for happy hour.

Until next time,
