FTJ, Entry 113: Big Tetons, and Weeping in Wapiti

RV During our stay in West Yellowstone, MT, we took a day trip south to Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. I have run out of adjectives for now.

To save you (and me) time, I give you Grand Teton National Park in pictures:




Beautiful Jackson Lake.










Moved to Tears

And then the trip from West Yellowstone, MT, to Cody, Wyoming. The Wapiti Valley is unlike anything we have every seen. We both were awestruck. In fact, I cried the entire time, I was so moved by the vistas. Something about this part of Wyoming really touched me -- my reaction was visceral and quite weird. This is a very, very special part of the world.

Photos cannot really come close to portraying the beauty of this journey, but here are some to give you just a very small sampling of what we saw...



 



 



We are now in Cody -- and we love it so much we extended our stay. Our latest favorite place. 

God, Wyoming is amazing.

Tanks, Panky

  1. Hi Guys - Just got caught up with your postings. It really is a beautiful part of the country. Our eldest, Adam, lived in Jackson for a year and loved it. He worked and skied and fished, but ended up coming home after a year because he "got tired of being poor with a view" ! We survived Irene pretty well, we were out of power for only 24 hours - I say only because there are still lots of people in the area who will not have any power until next week sometime. The start of school has been delayed for 3 days here in most towns, as well. Take care and be safe...Anne
