Wyoming

We rolled into Grand Tetons National Park on a very cloudy day. It was hard to get a good picture, let alone a good view of the mountain range due to the weather. The visitors center was nice though, had a small telescope with a good view.

The snow continued into Yellowstone as well, along with eh crappy weather. We got in just in time to wait an hour to see old faithful lol. The place was pretty crowded for a rainy day but not really cramped. Sure enough though, old faithful came through and put on an impressive show. It was hard to tell how high the water shot up because of the fog but my guess is about 60 feet. We saw a ton of wild life, deer, elk, moose, and maybe one bear, it was hard to tell. The Bison were the most impressive though, they are huge, and they come right up to the roads.

Leaving the park was a bit tricky though, there was a lot of construction, and the pass was closed earlier that day as well. We made it out though and found ourselves in the friendly town of Cody Wyoming. It was a nice town, about the size of Amherst but had a southern vibe to it in the way it looked. The people were all very hospitable and enjoyable to talk to. We took a walk down main street and wondered into a couple stores, one of which I left with a battle axe, cause, well why not lol. Other then the smell in the air, which was just awful, i have nothing bad to say about the town.
