Grand Teton National Park!

Three days in Grand Teton National Park did not disappoint!  Our drive from Ashton, ID was beautiful through lush green fields that took us to Teton Pass at an elevation of 8,432’ into Jackson Hole, WY.  After a short walk around the town we headed to the entrance of the national park.   Throughout our exploring we encountered all types of wildlife.

We…

The Bonneville Salt Flats

We explored the Bonneville Salt Flats and the Bonneville Speedway.  Both of the above are on “salt flats” in western Utah.  Here is a link to more about Bonneville Salt Flats .This is not a commercial tourist area, it is in fact all on Bureau of Land Management Public land.  Access is from the rest stop on I-80 West or from Exit 4 you can enter from the Speedway entrance.  The flats are about 12 miles long…it is an amazing area.  The Speedway is an especially smooth flat area approx. 10 miles long where speed trials are conducted and is well known…
