Leaving Yellowstone for the Grand Tetons

We left our campground bright and early to get a head start on the road to the Tetons. Unfortunately, a herd a Bison was entirely unconcerned about our schedule, and picked this time to stand in the road and impede traffic. Good Times.

The drive to the Tetons was beautiful. After leaving Yellowstone's South Entrance, we spotted a Grizzly bear across the river in the meadow. There were also many hilarious signs about watching for wildlife in the road, including one funny poem that went something like: "We saw wildlife, from afar, until we hit them, with our car." Unlike the Roosevelt Arch, we did at least take a photo at the Yellowstone sign upon leaving the park.

At our first glimpse of the Teton Range, we were awestruck. Grand Teton Peak is not quite as tall as Mt Rainier, but its very dramatic none the less. We were glad to find space at Colter Bay Campground, and got busy at the visitor center planning our stay. After taking a look at the camp store prices, we drove down to Jackson to get supplies, and also saw the first of many Pronghorn Antelope along with Elk and Bison, which we were now bored with. We looked carefully for moose, but didn't spot any. Tomorrow, rafting on the Snake River!
