600 S Hwy 89 Jackson, Wyoming, United States, 83001, 307-733-1620
June 11: Up again, check the oil and go go go. :0) Drove from Helena, MT to Jackson, WY. Passed through Idaho. Beautiful Scenery even though it was cold and stormy. Today's Lesson: sometimes relying on your GPS can put you in some sticky situations. Literally. I decided on a whim to take a scenic bypass in Idaho. At the other end it told me to get on a certain road. I did. Came to an intersection, the road I was on was paved, the cross road was paved, the road it was pointing me to was gravel...
Jackson, Wyoming, United States chrissybzStill in Jackson. Decided to wait out the weather. It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow. That should be nice for going through Teton and Yellowstone Parks. This morning as I was driving out to get some supplies, I saw Moterbikes in the yard with Mexico plates. Chapas, Hidalgo, and I asked them where they were going. ALASKA!! There were about 5 guys . One from Amatiltlan, Guatemala, and the rest from various Mexican states. Nice guys, VERY nice bikes. Stopped at Jackson Whole Grocer and stocked ...
Jackson, Wyoming, United States chrissybzOh Jackson deserved more time then we gave it. I think Robb and I both agreed we need a week next time. Pulling into town late the night before we were slow to rise in the morning to get out skiing. I was very happy with our luxurious accomodations at the Motel 6 where we stayed for 3 nights for $100. The snow was great....at least by our standards being from California. The locals might have thought the snow was too wet and that it was to warm outside....but to us the snow was fluffy and dry...
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, United States genkigoddessThe lower loop of the park is more about the geysers and geological features (the raison d'etre for the park) than animal spotting, although we saw plenty of both. Somehow, without checking at the ranger station as instructed, we managed to arrive at Old Faithful just before a scheduled eruption (they can predict pretty accurately give or take 10 mins). I’ve seen geysers before in New Zealand, but this one is a bit special, given the history of the National Parks etc. The Grand Prism...
Jackson, Wyoming, United States rachnharryLazy day. Dropped Mum and Dad off early then found a café with wifi and relaxed in the sunshine. I browsed the galleries and shops, confirming my suspicion that this place is a bit above my touch, and then had a nice siesta. Heading for Rapid City tomorrow.

This morning I woke up a little bit to tired and smelling like a fireplace. Yesterday evening our fantastic neighbors had a campfire. After a day working on the electronics in our bus, setting up my new PS 3 Slim among other things, this was a welcomed break. We brought a couple of bottles of wine ...
Jackson, Wyoming, United States skjaerseth... on the walls) to set up some viewing appointments for the next week. As upsetting as this was at the time, it allowed us to see one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen over the Teton range.
Thursday we woke up and took the water ferry across Jenny Lake to do one of the park's most popular hikes to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point. After battling through the crowds on this two mile stretch, we went on up through ...
... gateway of Yellowstone called Mammoth Hot Springs. This provided us with amazing views and very windy roads. Here we did some paved and flat walks called the upper and lower terraces that brought us to highlights such as Minerva's Pool. After that we headed south to Norris campground, as all the northern and higher altitude campgrounds were closed due to snowfall.
After a very cold night in ...
... for dinner and a couple of beers before crashing for the nite.
The next day was another early start to check out the Grand Teton national park. Grand Teton was another great national park with some spectacular scenery. There was one section of the park where there must of been nearly 100 cars lined up along the side of the road to take pictures of the scenery (see one of the attached photos).

... water bombs flew around, as well as dumper planes. From our campsite in West Yellowstone, it looked as Buncefield did when it went 'boom' a couple of years ago back home. Though I didn't cycle into Yellowstone (you could have if you wanted to do 100 miles into the headwind, all day), I jumped into one of our buses for a relatively brief trip. Though it was for only a few hours, I saw a herd of Elk, a Bison, a nesting Osprey, and the 'Old Faithful' geyser spout its ...
