Day 5. ~300 miles and 8 hours driving (lots of stops) from Cody, Wyoming to Jackson Hole (via Yellowstone). 2700 miles total so for. We spent about 10 hours roaming about Yellowstone. On the way, we also drove through the Shoshone National Forest with some incredible vistas.
Bison, Moose, Elk, Deer, Geysers…it was awesome! The animals were impossible to miss. Within 10 minutes of entering the park, we say about 20 Bison within 50 feet of the road….drinking by a stream. A mile down the road, we saw a herd of about 1000 more…just hanging out in a large valley.
Yellowstone also features the highest concentration of geyers anywhere in the world. We had fun walking around the steam vents, hot pools and also got to see the famous Old Faithful geyeser erupt before leaving the park.
We drove after dark through the Grand Teton Park (during one of the biggest lightening storms I’ve ever seem) and just arrived in Jackson Hole. We’ll go back through the Tetons tomorrow, before heading down to Salt Lake City for the night.
