Been home for a week since our venture to Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks in Wyoming. Fantastic. Stunning. Amazing. Just a few words to describe the incredible scenery of both locations. Didn't do any heavy-duty hiking in either location. Since it was our first visit, we wanted to see as much as possible, so joined the masses of tourists at all the popular attractions, viewpoints, ranger walks and nature trails. We did get in one beautiful hike in Teton, along a string of stunning lakes; our hike around Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls wound up being very wet from rain. In Yellowstone, the Upper Geyser Basin - home of Old Faithful - was astounding, a plethora of unique and beautiful thermal features. And the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone was simply breathtaking. And in both parks, critters everywhere! Bison, elk, moose, bear, wolves, deer, otters, antelope, and more! Truly unlike any other parks we've ever been to. And we've been to alot.
I've assembled a new Wyoming portfolio with a selection of smaller galleries, highlighting different parts of both parks. From Grand Teton, see galleries of various mountain views and other scenic locations around the park, including Cunningham Cabin and Jackson Lake; or a selection of images along our lake hike of String, Leigh, Bearpaw and Trapper Lakes. From Yellowstone, see images of Old Faithful and an assortment of thermal features found in Upper Geyser Basin and Mammoth Hot Springs; or images of the Grand Canyon, Lower Falls, and various valley scenes throughout the park. These are but sample galleries for now; they will likely be expanded as I continue to process thru the 1000's of photos taken on this trip...
Don't forget to check out the Ken Burns documentary this week, National Parks: America's Best Idea on your local PBS station.
