Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks

We took another road trip, this time to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons last week. Beautiful country! Part of the trip was spent in a photo workshop of Yellowstone. The theme was wild life photography. We saw mostly Buffalo, but also Elk, Coyote, Prong horn deer, Bald Eagle and other wildlife.We started our trip in the Grand Tetons park and stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge, very nice. 
            

This is the view from our bedroom picture window!
I wish I could write more about the food we ate while on our trip but alas, the food was marginal. I am sure there are some good restaurants there but with limited time on our hands they were hard to find. 
The landscape at Yellowstone was not only spectacular but a little 'creepy' with all the hot springs in the park. As you drive thru the park there are plenty of bubbling pools of hot volcanic water and steam!


I found out that the park sits on a live volcano which is due to erupt one of these days! We watched 'Old Faithful' geyser and had lunch in the historic Old Faithful Inn. Very cool place.
