| The Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces give off strong sulphur gases, we hiked to the top of the overlook but had to leave Hannes in the car in these areas; luckily it was cool enough outside for that to not be a problem, he wasn't very happy with us nonetheless. |

 |
| We stopped at a small store to get a drink and a muffin and look who was relaxing outside! |
 |
| The drive through the forest out of Yellowstone toward Grand Teton National Park held some natural, almost camouflaged, surprises too! |
 |
| This was our first view of the Tetons; there aren't enough words to describe the beauty! |

| The Snake River view in Grand Teton; I could have stood in this spot forever! |
 |
| This is isn't the best photo of us but look beyond it... these mountains were, by far, my favorite part of our entire trip; I'll not soon forget their majesty and rugged splendor. Life is Good! Tomorrow: Idaho... our 50th state! |

beautiful pics! Are those deer lying out by the store?
AMAZING!!!!
I can't begin to tell you the fond memories this post evokes. Mammoth was a place our family thoroughly enjoyed. We stayed in those cabins a couple of times and loved the terraces--and the animals casually relaxing all around.
Oh, and The Tetons!! Doesn't get any better. Jenny Lake is a favorite. Did you get to take the boat across and hike up to Hidden Falls or Inspiration Point? Did you see any bears around the lake? We have seen Grizzlies and black bears there at various times.
I wonder if DH would like to take a trip up North next month? : )
When I was a "puppy" (in my 20's) some college friends decided we should expand our river rafting experience. We went down part of the Snake and the Green Rivers ... AMAZING!!
What glorious photos -- Mother Nature ROCKS!!! (no pun intended, either)
Oh those mountains are GORGEOUS! I wish I could just pick them up and move them to my backyard! I've gone backpacking in the Tetons before (many years ago), but the beauty continues to make me catch my breath!
