Roadtrip part 4- Grand Teton and Yellowstone



Old Faithful!



Elk



MOOSE!



Mr. Moose again



Buffalo


The drive though Grand Teton and Yellowstone was an EPIC JOURNEY. On the drive through Grand Teton, which was first on our path through the parks, we saw a little black bear crossing the road. It was so cute! We spotted it first from the car, but we didn't want to get TOO close... unfortunately, some other cars decided to drive right up to it and scare it away! I got a pretty distant picture, and even though we saw him closer up when we drove past, there wasn't another good photo op for the little bear!

That was pretty much all the excitement of Teton, except for a lot more beautiful scenery. Then, it was through to Yellowstone. Having already seen a bear, our goals for the afternoon were to see Old Faithful, see some buffaloes, and a moose. Needless to say we achieved all these goals, although the buffalo and moose were at the very end when we had almost given up hope... to be fair, the moose wasn't even in the park, he was just eating some grass by the highway on the way out!

All in all, the drive through was gorgeous and we saw some incredible views. Old faithful was pretty awesome too!
