Grand Tetons National Park

End of day two at Grand Tetons NP. More superlatives for this natural wonderland of snow covered mountains lined up west of the Jackson Hole valley.

And large and small mammals wandering about. In our two days here, we’ve seen moose, buffalo, elk, wolves, a coyote, prong horn antelope, as well as western tanagers, scrub jays, great blue herons, hawks, and osprey (on the way to the park).

Tomorrow we move to Yellowstone National Park, just 50 miles north. Our friend Gene secured us a site at the nicest RV park for four nights. Not bad on short notice, considering they were completely booked. It’s who you know, i.e. Gene is the manager at that park.

After Yellowstone, we expect to return to these Tetons for three more nights before resuming our 900 mile journey to Olympia and Lake Tyee. At this point, we plan to arrive in Oly on the evening of Friday, June 20. We’ll stay there for about five days before finishing our trek with a final day’s drive to Lake Tyee.

Bruce,
would you be willing to give us the name of Gene's park?
