Grand Teton Mountains - Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Day 12

Yellowstone Park was fantastic! The variety of wildlife you get to observe living in the park can not be easily matched by another location. The vistas were also just as breathtaking and the exploration of the park requires a few days minimum. However, shorter visits enable visitors to see the highlights of the park with some planning. Monty got some fantastic shots and we hope to get them up in this blog and smugmug over the next 2 days while we have access to the Internet. Some of the wildlife that Monty and I got to see were: coyote, big horn sheep, bison, elk, white tail deer, bald eagle, prong horn deer, mother moose with her calve, and ospry! Add to that the natural wonders like the Old Faithful geyser and numerous other geysers, rapid moving rivers and Yellowstone Lake. It truly is a park that everyone should visit at least once!

We left Yellowston this morning and traveled a short way to the Grand Teton Mountains. We are presently staying in another KOA campsite south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jackson Hole is quite a developed tourist town which has visiters year round for skiing, white water rafting, camping, and visiting Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.

The only unfortunate event is it is still RAINING! We get periods of sunshine but thunderstorms always follow and this afternoon, we actually got hail!
