Part 2–Jackson Hole, the Tetons, and Yellowstone

Y’all. What the what? Where has the time gone? I’m so sorry I haven’t updated here in awhile! I’m planning on getting a few posts out in the wild of the internet here in the next few days. There’s been so much!

We will continue our story in Jackson Hole, a cute town south of Yellowstone and the Tetons. We decided to hang out in the town during the day, mostly window shopping and getting into shenanigans. There are so many cute shops there. We had lunch at Jackson Drug Company, getting grilled cheese and huckleberry milkshakes. So good!

In the afternoon, we loaded up on snacks. We were spending the night in the national forest! We stopped at the T.A. Moulton barn on Mormon Row, which is the most photographed barn in America. I took so many photos. Haha.

A quick pit stop.

When we got into the national forest, we picked a couple possibilities, then decided to get a better view and watch the sunset. We set up our chairs, got our cameras ready, and settled down for a gorgeous, dramatic sunset. When it started to rain, we headed to our campsite. We laid the seats down and slept in the car!

We woke up before the sun to drive back into Teton National Park and get some sunrise pictures of the Tetons. It was kind of cloudy; I was worried it wouldn’t clear up. But it did, and it was beautiful! We ate breakfast there on a bench, watched a private photography class take place, and enjoyed the morning together.

Yellowstone was next up. We were going back to check out Old Faithful, see some of the features, and drive around the park. Old Faithful was certainly incredible. We walked around the area for a bit, checked out the hotel and found out where the gift shop was, then sat in the sun and waited. There were so many people!! It was kind of overwhelming after not being around people for 2 days. Old Faithful erupted right on time, which is about every 98minutes, give or take ten.

We drove up the east side of the park and came upon some stopped traffic. We were stopped because of the buffaloes walking across the road! It was crazy! We were so close to the buffalo that we could have reached out and touched them. They were so huge! It was honestly terrifying. My heart was pounding. Haha!

On that adrenaline high, we went to the lower falls. We hiked a little bit, took some pictures, and then headed out of the park to get some pizza and head back toward home.

We had an amazing trip to Yellowstone. It was so incredible to be in the wilderness for a couple days and regroup. I can’t wait for the next one! More outside adventures, please!

I hope you all are having a good week! Keep it up, we’re almost to the weekend! You’re amazing!
