Crossing a Continental Divide...or two

We received word from my Dad while we were traveling around Yellowstone that their flight got delayed and discombobulated (yeah, it's a word). So, we had to change our plans a bit.


After leaving the park, we went in search of possibly another camping site, or a hotel to stay at. Of course it was getting late, and towns are few and far between in the wild west. So, this was obviously going to be our next adventure.


While traveling around, we saw many of these signs...

This one happens to be the one passing through Yellowstone.

Their plane was going to be landing in Jackson Hole, WY. We headed in that direction with hopes that we could find a place nearby so we could meet their plane and explore the town. We traveled around Wyoming...and headed to Idaho (having a small stop to scoop a picture of the Snake River).

We decided (since we couldn't find anything in Wyoming, why not add Idaho to the list of states we've visited?! So we entered Idaho (this picture was actually taken the next day). By the time we got there, it was about 2 am and we were worn out from the long day.

We spent the night in the first town we came across and headed out early the next morning to meet the family at the airport.

Helloooooo Wyoming!

After entering Wyoming and traveling through the mountains to the airport, we saw signs of the many wildfires surrounding us.

We finally made it to the airport. We didn't realize that the Grand Teton Mountains were...right beside the airport.

We found this truck in the parking lot. We thought this may fit right in back in the Adirondack Mountains!

We watched out the windows and finally saw their plane land!

Just outside Jackson Hole is a National Elk Refuge...so I'm sure all these antlers were gathered naturally...

After spending a great day exploring Jackson Hole with the family, we headed back to MT to another fun filled work week, with plans to meet up with them again during their travels.
