We have encountered a variety of weather, yesterday after visiting the Alpine Visitor Center (approx. 12,000 feet of elevation) there was sleet and hail and the temps dropped to 48.

The mountains of Grand Teton National park are so inspiring. This is a watercolor of one of our rides through the park.

I say “over” because we saw a few before we started counting and we have also seen Moose but unable to capture by camera. Several Moose have walked by our Airstream windows! We have set up a trail camera at…

After Grand Teton National Park we returned to our Airstream for the night. We then headed to Yellowstone National Park. From our home base of Ashton, ID we had about an hour drive to Yellowstone. Yellowstone was established as the world’s first national park in 1872! This park influenced the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. The park is 3500 sq. miles of wilderness atop a volcanic hot spot. The park features canyons, alpine rivers, forests, hot springs and geysers. The most famous geyser, Old Faithful that got it’s name because it blows approx. every 90 minutes and…
