One Last Weekend of the Summer 'o fun

This weekend my friend Gina and I headed off to Yellowstone and Teton National Park to enjoy the end of summer fun. We left Thursday evening and slept in Logan at my grandparents. We got up Friday morning and drove to West Yellowstone, checked in to our hotel, then headed to the park. We drove around all day looking at all there was to see. We saw a lot of...



Waterfalls... Buffalo... and Geysers!


Friday night we went to a 'Ranger talk around the Campfire'. The quote of the evening was a question by a 12 year old boy... "Have you had any injuries or deaths in the park related to mountain goats?" We were laughing so hard we were crying.... "Has there EVER been a death by mountain goat?"

Saturday after touring some more of Yellowstone, we headed to Jackson Hole. We spent the night there and Sunday, (after going to Sacrament meeting, of course), we went to Grand Teton National Park. We started the afternoon off on a nice boat ride and hike to Hidden Falls. Then spent some time looking at the amazing view, just below Inspiration Point.



It then started to rain and get really cold. We drove around some more and waited just long enough for the clouds to lift and for us to get one last view of the Teton range. It was a relaxing fun trip. Now it's back to the grind of life, and working a million hours a week......
