Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole, Wy

I wanted to remember the motel we stayed in while visiting Yellowstone.  As mentioned in earlier post, it is in Cody, Wyoming.  We drove about 50 miles to get into Yellowstone at the East entrance and the ride is through tunnels and along the water, beautiful drive.  The motel is Green Gables Inn and it was so clean, had everything you needed and more.  Price was right for that area. Very convenient to everything.

Today we left Cody for the Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole.  Everywhere you go, there is a beautiful lake.  Yellowstone Lake is huge, then we rode along Lewis Lake and stopped at a nice waterfall.  Then you arrive at the Tetons and there is no mistake you have arrived.  Really pretty mountain range.  No camera we own captured the beauty.  A bonus, today was a nice fall weather day so we had our top down, which made the view much nicer.

Here are some photos of today. We took a one way wildlife drive that was on our way to Jackson.  We saw a bear close to the road, in the thicket/brush.  So, video didn't turn out so well, but we got excited!  Tomorrow we will stay around Jackson Hole and see the town.


 You drive into Yellowstone to get to the Grand Tetons then Jackson, Wy.  So the above photos are the last of Yellowstone. Clyde wanted me to see this active hot spring geyser today, as yesterday was rainy when we stopped at West Thumb Geyser Basin.








The motel we are in tonight is in Jackson Hole.  The photos below are up at Teton Village.  It was about a 12 mile drive from Jackson. It is a big ski resort and more.  We ate at the Mangy Moose and rode the Gondola to the top of the resort, at 9,095'.
