Grand Tetons and Yellowstone!
I have about 100 pictures from the national parks, but here's a few. The Tetons were phenomenal. I've been here before, but it never ceases to amaze. You see something different everyday, and if you pay attention there is always wildlife on the side of the road (and we saw several herd of buffalo). There was a ton of road construction going on when we entered the park, and they weren't allowing bikers (they were loading them in the pace cars) so we felt lucky that Dad is still with us and we can just go in our car & not try and lift our trailers into their big trucks. Also, when we got into the parks we tried to find a campsite and EVERY single spot was taken. I think there was a few RV spots, but if we wanted to pitch our tent there we had to pay a whopping $70 +. That sounds fair to me. I'm glad that the parks make plenty of RV spots and few tent spots, to really encourage the more eco-friendly version of camping. Some campgrounds will let you pitch your tent on an RV spot for the tent rate, but God forbid Yellowstone pass up on a little extra cash. But enough of the rant- we ended up having to go out of the parks to West Yellowstone (which was another 50 miles or so from where we were at, so again thank goodness Dad is still with us!)
