Thursday afternoon and evening we really enjoyed our stay at Bear Lake. The drive up to the Tetons was very pretty...here are just a few of the sites we saw.
This last is the elk arch that crosses the road in Afton, home to the world's largest arch made of elk antlers. For the first time on our trip from Florida, we lost Internet for a prolong time period...just could not penetrate through the hills as we drove along the small valley roads.
Got gas in Jackson, and continued along the Jackson Hole area along Highway 89, which we were on most of the day.
We have driven along the Tetons a number of times...they are always as nice as they were last time.
And we always see Buffalo along this route. It was my goal to camp in a dispersed camping area just off the highway along Forest Rd 30310. We got there, finally found a spot that we could see some of the Tetons, but there was NO INTERNET! Both our T-Mobile and Verizon Air Cards gave us ZERO Internet! The decision was made to go north...and after talking to a ranger at the Colter Bay Visitor Center, I put in Henrys Lake into the GPS and continued north...it was going to take another 3 hours, something I was not prepared to do.
Here is a view of Colter Lake and the Tetons...our last view for this trip.
Didn't take many pictures once we got into Yellowstone, but had to get this one of some Buffalo. As we got to West Yellowstone, I saw an RV Park I knew about from our visit back in 2016, The Wagon Wheel, and decided it was best staying in town close to prepared food than going on to the State Park at Henrys Lake, or Bill Frome Memorial County RV Park which is on the other side of the lake where you can dry camp for like $10.
That was Friday, this is Saturday, and you will have to wait to hear and see some of what we saw Saturday in Yellowstone...
The Tetons, Yellowstone and really all of western Wyoming is just such a special place.
ReplyDeleteYes it is...I think this is my 7th or 8th visit to the area.
DeleteIt is just beautiful country ... big and green ... and of course I love the critters. I agree ... RV park is better.
ReplyDeleteWe moved over to Henry's Lake, 15 miles west of West Yellowstone. Trying to get a Yellowstone blog together...
