YELLOWSTONE AND THE TETONS



 We drove through Paradise Valley, into Roosevelt Arch, and after some re-configuring due to road closures, we were on our way through the park to West Yellowstone where we stayed 2 nights.  The elk were loitering in Mammoth Hot Springs, and bison were still causing traffic jams.





















 We tried to do a selfie with Old Faithful spewing in the background, but it was hard....so I decided to do a play on words, and we had fun with it.





On our circuitous drive south through the park, we stopped at Canyon, where they are building 3 new huge lodges.  This cabin is what we stayed in when we visited Amber back in her college days when she interned at Yellowstone.  They were rustic then!


 On to the Tetons, we were blessed with good weather for picture taking, and camped in Gros Ventre campground,  We thought it would be dry camping, but we had a nice, paved electric site!

 The new visitor center near Moose Junction is beautiful. Afterwards, we just drove around taking pictures.  Even though we've been here several times before, we always see it with fresh eyes.
