Drive to Tetons

Today was one of our longer days. We drove to Norris to see the hot springs and to test the water chemistry. Then, we drove down to Old Faithful because, well, you have to if you are in Yellowstone. It was pretty spectacular.

Due to a road closure, though, we had to drive all the way back through Yellowstone to get to the southern entrance. It was another 4 hours in the vans, but the views were great. Due to our detour, we got to drive past Yellowstone Lake and see the snowy mountains in the distance. It's kinda crazy to think you are driving right above a giant caldera. Did someone say SUPER VOLCANO?

As the sun began to set, we approached the Tetons. They are striking as they rise up against the plains. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy the view for the next couple nights in Teton Village in Jackson Hole, WY.
