Road Trip to Yellowstone: Wyoming (Grand Teton National Park)


I am really inspired to keep on sharing the drive by shots I took on this road trip. We arrived in Jackson late pm and with the limited time we have on this trip, we decided to check in at the hotel without going into the room and freshening up because we were trying to catch as much light as we can on this first day.

I waited in the car while the husband checked us in the hotel. We hurriedly went to Grand Teton National Park, and made the visitor center the first stop.

Heavy rain came down while we were in the visitor center; we were afraid it would not let up and we would not see anything else on this day. But the clouds parted temporarily and were able to do a short drive around the park. Then there's a bunch of cars parked by the side of the road. You know something's happening and so we stopped and inquired.

A safe distance away is a bear munching on huckleberries. How lucky we were to spot a bear on the first hour we were in the park.

Jenny Lake (next post) is open and sounds really interesting, so we decided to drive there. Along the way, we spotted wildlife - an elk?
