Painted Buffalo Inn Resort Boo Jackson

... Snake River Brewing Company, and then spent most of our afternoon using the hotel's free wireless to get our lives in order.

The next morning we rushed to pick up some more camping food supplies and secure a campsite at Jenny Lake, the most popular campground at the Park. After setting up camp we walked down to Jenny Lake to read and enjoy the absolutely spectacular view of Grand Teton and Mount Moran. We then drove up to ...

... west gun fight. There going to close down an intersection and shoot it out. It better be cool, because Nic made us wait here for the last four hours just to watch it!

After thats over we are leaving Jackson and heading south towards Salt Lake.


Till next time,

... so riesig dass er nicht auf ein foto passt und die bilder der realität schlicht nicht gerecht werden. ist doch auch schön, dass nicht alles mit einer digicam aufgenommen werden kann, ich hab die bilder stattdessen mit meinen eigenen instinkten aufgenommen und kann jedem grand teton besucher nur empfehlen, den ca 1 stündigen aufstieg auf sich zu nehmen!

Field Research

Today, each group of students conducted research in the field. Every group that has visited the Teton Science School since 1967 has participated in this tradition.

Students discussed the scientific method, and then determined their research question and hypothesis. Next, they established their ...

So yes you guessed it - we chose to head straight from Yellowstone to Jackson Hole, where after a 6hr drive we arrived thirsty, cold, and desperate. Justin went straight into the first hotel we saw ( 'The Wort', which happened to very fancy) and said - ' We need a room, whattaya got'. Whether the concierge took pity on us (it was almost 10pm) or whether they were needing to fill rooms (probably the latter), he gave us his Cowgirl room 1/4 of the price ...

I was up bright and early for the reasonably short drive to Yellowstone NP. The drive from Cody to Yellowstone was good and took me past Buffalo Bill Dam. After a brief stop there I continued on and arrived at Yellowstone NP around 8am. Yellowstone is a massive park and I had only allowed myself the one day to see as much of it as I could. It would be a great place to stay for a couple of days and do some of ...

... rummaging around all week with lots of damage to coolers and boxes left outside. We thought we might see a bear afterall, but when it came to perhaps our best chance of spotting one, none of us were game enough to get up in the middle of the night and do a run to the toilet-block. Grand Teton NP is an easy drive through kind of park, so we meandered along the main route just stopping for photo ops and a stretch of the legs at Jenny Lake. There we encountered a bus ...

... the most magnificent combination of wildlife and glorious views that we've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. If you think I'm sounding over-excited writing about Grand Teton, wait until I get started on the Yellowstone blog... that place is... well, more like a movie set than the real world. I always knew the Grand Tetons were one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world but yet again, seeing them in person really blew us away. We had ...

... from the Bighorn Mountains to the park took across some of the typical sand and butte geography. Things started changing when we approached Yellowstone Park when we entered the Shoshone National Forest because the road followed the Shoshone River right into the Park. The scenery was gorgeous and the driving easy. As we got closer to the park we couldn't't help but notice the poor condition of the trees that covered the sides ...

... day (it now costs $10 per day). I had a full day seeing some fantastic sights and had a nice peaceful place out in the woods to spend the night.
