Then we started our drive through Yellowstone. We saw bison and other lovely sights. The drive was excellent. We stopped for a lunch break at Lewis Lake.

I believe we crossed the continental divide three times on our way- I didn't remember that from previous drives.
We kept driving on John D. Rockefeller Highway out of Yellowstone and into Grand Teton National Park - you really can't hardly tell when you pass from one to the other. The views were amazing and the mountains look so rugged!
Jackson Lake |
We passed Jackson Lake and eventually just kept moving south toward Jackson. As we got near the airport, all the traffic stopped and a big moose crossed the road! I got a couple of pictures!

When we arrived at Jackson, it was busy and full of tourists. We got set up and unhooked the pickup. We just picked up burgers for supper and then went on a drive to look for wildlife.
We did a quick check at the visitor center in Jackson and I took a few pictures of stuffed elk there.

On our way we saw a big herd of elk, but I was driving and they were too far for Steve to get a picture with my phone. We got to the Lawrence Rockefeller Preserve (on Moose Road) and saw another traffic jam. Anyway there was a Park Ranger there and we asked a lady in the jam where the bear was. She told us and Steve got out and looked, then I got out and looked. One of us had to stay in the pickup with the dogs - so they wouldn't go nuts. Some guy said there is another bearing the parking lot, so we drove there and didn't see a bear. We started back to the RV and got a really good look at three bears. After that we returned to the RV.
