Grand Tetons
So, following Bryce Canyon National Park which we will definitely return to at some point
we rolled out on Monday morning and headed north to Wyoming. The plan was to continue to roll up HWY 15 into northern Utah and into and across the lower portion of Idaho. But had a change of plan and decided to make an in route stop in Salt Lake City.
We checked into the SLC Holiday KOA which was awesome for a stop to break up the miles before heading into Wyoming. We woke up early the next day and headed to Wyoming the drive through Idaho was pretty uneventful, the only issue we had which really wasn't much of one was the weather.
When we left Utah, it was in the high 70's, once we hit Idaho the temps drop to the low 50's with drizzle and rain and never rose above 55 the entire time we drove through Idaho to Wyoming. Our final destination was the Fireside Resort in Wilson, Wyoming just outside of Jackson Hole.
Wilson, which is the gateway to The Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone National Parks turned out to be a great little tourist town. Wilson is where all the local activity is located, they have really great restaurants and shopping with some great scenic places and a very unique history. We spent 4 days in which we explored the Grand Tetons and a small portion of Yellowstone National Park which is our further point on this run. While in the area we were able to not only explore Jackson Hole, but we were also able to see the historic Mormon Row, which has been on my list of places to see for a very, very long time. We also checked out Jenny Lake which we really wanted to explore, but we were not able to do because of the weather. The day we decided to checkout Jenny Lake was the worst weather day with 25 degree cold and rain. Even though the weather was horrid we still made it there for the experience. We will definitely explore more the next time we are here. The 1250-mile cruise up the Wyoming/Montana has been so much fun. This particular journey is not over yet, but if it did end right here it would provide years of memories to come.
Well enjoy the pictures of this stop and we will see you on the road at the next stop which will be Yellowstone! Thanks for following along on the journey with us we appreciate you being with us.
