After a quick dinner we headed back into Yellowstone (which isn't hard, as the entrance is literally around the block) for some dusk wildlife viewing. While we didn't see any new animals (plenty of bison and elk though), I did get the nice sunset shot you see above. It was a fitting end to a pretty nice trip.

Today we put a ton of miles on our fabulous rental SUV. We drove south from West Yellowstone through Idaho (right through potato country), over the very crazy Teton Pass, and into Jackson Hole. Man, I'd love to live there... time to start shopping for a vacation home. Anyhow, we then drove up to Grand Teton, which has some really rugged mountains and several large lakes. Like at Yellowstone, most of the services were still closed for the winter. That didn't take away from the scenery, though... pictures after the link.

Today we drove all over the other (accessible) parts of Yellowstone. We went to Mammoth Hot Springs, Canyon, and Yellowstone Lake. The weather was all over the place... from sun to rain to hail to snow, and then back again. Tomorrow we're off to Grand Teton!
