Grand Tetons and Yellowstone

After we left Mammoth Lakes, we drove through Nevada to Utah, heading toward Yellowstone.  We spent the night near the Nevada/Utah border, and didn't realize until morning we were right beside the Bonneville Salt Flats.  They're not exactly picturesque, but are so immense and well, flat, that they are very impressive.  The day we stopped a woman told us someone was going to try to go 464 miles per hour -- amazing!

The Grand Tetons are gorgeous and of course, grand!



We spent the night in Jackson Hole, where they have created a whole new art form using antlers.  We remembered the antler arches from our visit there in 1981.


We spent the next day and a half in Yellowstone.  Even though we have been there before, we totally enjoyed our time there.  It is so immense and impressive, it would take weeks to explore it all.  We opted not to camp -- too chilly, too many bear sightings!  There will be pictures in the next post. The computer is starting to complain about being too full!
