'18/#15 Another Day Exploring

The whole reason we live this life is to see this amazing country so on our days off we head out to explore all that the area has to offer. This week we took a drive through Teton National Park. The local recommendations all said to go south through Idaho and come in from Jackson Hole. An easy ride down the main highway and then across the scenic byway into Jackson Wyoming. Driving through Teton Pass was an adventure with winding roads, blind curves, and steep grades I was glad not to be towing the trailer. At the top of the pass we were welcomed to an awesome view of Jackson Hole which is just that, a giant hole in the middle of the mountains.

At the bottom of the pass we entered the city of Jackson and all the traffic associated with a tourist town. After jockeying our way through town we entered Teton Park. That is where the mountains and jaw dropping views begin. Hundreds of pictures that will be shared on line do it no justice. Everywhere we turned it was like

looking at a post card. In fact we couldn't stop saying how none of it looked real.
                      


Exiting the north end of the park it was just a short drive to the south entrance to Yellowstone Park. This is a part of the park we have never seen before. We just drove through to get back to West Yellowstone. We will come back to explore that part of the park at a later date. It had been a long day and we were hungry and tired. After a nice dinner in town we headed home and called it a night in our home in Montana because....

Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
