Yellowstone and Grand Tetons

Quite a drive from Oregon up to Yellowstone, but not an ugly one, and we managed to find beautiful camp spots in the forest (thank you IOverland app and the federal governments of Wyoming and Montana for your policy on the availability of beautiful free forest camping).
Yellowstone must be one of the prettiest and most extraordinary places we have ever visited. It is so diverse in landscape with canyons, rivers, lakes, geysers and lots of wildlife everywhere. We tried to capture it in photos and films (see also Koens blog) and the real beauty will always be kept in our minds. We did several hikes and drives here. Day 4 we moved to Grand Teton which really is next door, and passed another beautiful 2 days around the lake, gazing at the peaks of the 3 Tetons and other mountains.
Here is were we (finally!) encountered a bear!!
Next stop: the great Salt Lake.Read more
