National Parks: In Search of Bullwinkle

Day 5: June 30, 2008 and Day 6: July 1, 2008

The last two days we hit up two national parks: Yellowstone where we saw many, many thermal springs and fantastic scenery.































































...and the Grand Tetons (or "Grand Teet'ins" as Vickie calls it.) I've been to both previously in a similar roadtrip with my family years ago, and I distinctly remember how beautiful the Grand Tetons were. I was not disappointed the second time around.












































We also encountered endless wildlife: bison, deer, elk, and foxes. The one creature we did not see was the elusive moose. We looked far and wide across acres of parkland over two days and did not come across a moose. (sigh)

Also of note, today we hit up three states: Montana, Idaho (no, Udaho!), and Wyoming.
