Grand Tetons and Yellowstone

When we left the family reunion on Friday, we drove up to Provo and spent an hour with my friend Candice and her family.  (Of course I forgot to take a picture.) Then we drove and stayed the night in Idaho Falls.  We went to Pizza Pie Cafe for dinner while we waited for a prescription for Tanner.  He has an ear infection and Dr. Skidmore called in some antibiotic drops for his ear.  On Saturday we went to Grand Teton National Parks.  We came into the Tetons from the south and drove along Moose-Wilson Road.  

We stopped and did a 2 mile hike out and back to the Phelps Lake overlook on Death Canyon Trail. View of Phelps Lake.




We stopped and had lunch at Dornans.

 Then we rode up to Jenny Lake.  We took the shuttle boat across the lake and walked up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Peak.  That was about 2 miles. Then we walked 2.5 miles around Jenny Lake back to where we took the shuttle boat across.

 As you leave the Tetons from the North, you enter into Yellowstone National Park.  We stopped and took a quick picture at Lewis Falls. 
 West stopped at Lower Geyser Basin on our way before leaving the park through the west entrance.  Everyone was a little antsy to get home.
