Grand Tetons - Day Two

Today we drove from Rawlins to Jackson and Grand Teton National Park. The drive up here was beautiful! We took our time and made a lot of stops. We had lunch in Jackson and then headed up to the visitor center at the entrance to Grand Teton National Park (after Kevin let us know we were at the wrong visitor center initially). The views were gorgeous! There were a lot of photographers setting up their spots where they wait for the sweet light. One even had a view camera. We needed to get to our condo and check in so we couldn't set up tonight. We have plenty of time to do that this coming week.

Our condo is really nice. Actually, it's much nicer than I was expecting. Very cozy and well equipped. We're in Teton Village which is a ski resort area. We're at the base of the ski slopes. There was a very narrow and windy road from the visitors center down to here. Several miles of the road were dirt. It was a much more pleasant drive than going back through the crowds of Jackson.

The weather today was gorgeous. We're in for two or three days of questionable weather and then it should be nice again. This is a great time of year to be here! I am surprised at how many people are here though.

We found out at the visitor center that there are a lot of closed roads in Yellowstone. That could change if we get some rain/snow that puts out the fire. We may just go up there one day and use this time to fully explore Grand Teton Ntl Park and the area around here. There is so much to see! We can always come back and spend more time in Yellowstone.
