We were there but I never did see the yellow stone everyone is all excited about. I had a vision of a huge yellow boulder not unlike like the Blarney stone with a lengthy line of tourists waiting to kiss it. LoL! Still we entered through the East entrance, circled the park, saw Old Faithful spout off the exited via the Southern gate.
In the past three days we encountered a range of wildlife: black bear, moose, deer, mule deer, elk and RVs. While in the park we did abide by the regulations governing tenting (sort of) and stayed in the designated tent/RV sites though we didn't actually register in any of them. Technically the sites were all full so we just asked people if we could share their camp sites. At night our food went in designated bear boxes or in other peoples cars for safe keeping. The hot showers at the camp sites made the gross numbers of tourists bearable.
Today with the temperature hovering at 42 degrees we biked our way into the Grand Teton National Park. Quite possible the most beautiful place thus far. I will have to ponder that some more. Just a little factoid the French originally called the Tetons 'the Three Breasts' perhaps because they loved them also!

It's amazing how each place becomes more beautiful than the previous. What a temperature swing though. You two are making amazing progress across the country. Keep it up. We are thinking about you every day.

LOVE the Tetons, one of my favorite spots too! I was thinking of a road trip up there (by car, not bike :-) in Sept which is my favorite time, but just booked a trek around Mt. Blanc instead!
ReplyDeleteWas starting to feel lazy and like maybe instead of a hiking trip I should just relax, but reading about your trip keeps me inspired!
