We finally had a warm (relatively), sunny day at Grand Teton National Park today. So we headed out for some hiking!
Where the wild things are
Here we are at Day 17 (holy cow). We had a relaxed day and did some light hikes to some pretty lakes in the area. The weather was spectacular.
Yellowstone’s violent past has created a beautiful present
Today was an adventure of the geothermal variety in the caldera of the continent’s largest volcano. We saw geysers erupt, mud pots bubble, and boiling hot streams roll over rocks crusted with colorful bacteria.
The Tetons are missing!
Howdy, cowboys and cowgirls! This is going to be a super quick update since not a whole lot happened today. The clouds have been hanging low and the weather has been a mixed bag of sorts.

We started our second day at Glacier National Park by heading up to the Many Glacier area, which is a bit more remote and considered by many to be the best that the park has to offer. We weren’t in…

We made it into Glacier National Park today, and it didn’t disappoint! This is how you do a national park—Cuyahoga Valley, I’m looking at you. No bear sightings today (we did see a couple moose though!), though rangers are warning…
