good morning today we are headed to another beautiful and amazing national park
grand teton national park
my starting point for this trip was west yellowstone
grand teton national park is only 10 miles south of yellowstone national park to which
it is connected by the national park service managed john d rockefeller jr memorial parkway
the south entrance of yellowstone leads right into
grand teton national park so i might have to show my america the beautiful past once again
i've arrived here at my camp at the colter bay campground inside of grand teton national park
it is a national park campsite so the spaces are very close together they are pull through sites
at least many of them are pulled through sites i've already got my uh truck unhitched i don't
know if you guys are ever interested in seeing the hitching and hitching processes but i've gotten
very good at it i'm really excited about that still not so good at backing up but definitely
the hitching and unhitching has gotten really easy for me i'm only here at this site for one
night because they didn't have consecutive nights available but for the next two nights i will have
the same site so i'll be moving sights in the morning the reason that i'm here are one of the
reasons that i'm here not only because i wanted to see the beautiful tetons which i absolutely
love this area it's one of my favorite areas but i'll also be meeting up with some friends
and then we should be going on a backcountry backpacking trip somewhere in the area i
don't know exactly where yet we're going to determine that uh when i meet up with them
anyhow i think that for this afternoon i'm going to go ahead and get out and do some
exploring bring this bad boy hopefully see some wildlife and just see the beauty of the tetons i
got a little peek of them as i was driving in and they look stunning i think i need a closer look

grand teton national park is approximately 310
000 acres the park includes the major peaks of the 40 mile long
teton range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as jackson hole
it's pretty windy out there i got a couple of pronghorn and a bison at a very far distance it's
not ideal lighting for shooting right now however i just couldn't wait to get out and see the tetons
after finishing up exploring i headed to the coulter bay general store which is right next
to the campground to see if i could grab something for dinner i had not planned anything for dinner
and luckily they are pretty well stocked
it's dark in here with all these trees these tall trees i am back here at camp i stopped at the
general store to grab something for dinner i didn't have anything planned for dinner
it's something just really simple and kind of plain because i had a little bit of a stomach
bug yesterday so was feeling a little under the weather and i feel pretty good today but
i don't want to chance it i just want to take it easy on my tummy so i just got some cheese
ravioli i'm going to put some freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano on top with some olive oil
and that's it i think the plan for tomorrow will be to get up a little earlier and get out
usually the wildlife likes to come out early in the morning and at desk so uh yeah i think
i'll go out in the morning and maybe have some beautiful lighting and get to see some wildlife
some more wildlife maybe up closer also i'll take a drive a little bit deeper into the park
and a little bit closer to the tetons those are the ingredients for dinner tonight very simple
okay drizzling a little olive oil
it's four cheese ravioli by the way no meat no nothing spicy and then freshly grated parmesan
foreign
top of the morning to you i slept in this morning because it stays so dark in here
under all this tree cover i love being in the trees but that's one thing about it is that
it does stay dark for a longer portion of the day gets dark earlier it it's light later but it's uh
it's nice i do like being here obviously i'm still here at camp one thing that i had forgotten about
when i talked about getting an early start out there this morning is that i do need to switch
sites today i'm going to be moving from this site to another site within the campground
because they didn't have consecutive nights as i mentioned so the next site will i'll be able
to stay for two nights i have to do that by or at 11 is checkout time so i didn't have time to
go out and do the type of exploring that i'd want to do before i'd have to come back here
at 11 to move so i won't be going to do any exploring until after
i switched sights so that's the plan we're still gonna get to the park and see all its beauty
but just a little bit later a viewer recommended that i try these dark chocolate pancakes and
i've already had them and they are bomb that's what's for breakfast this morning
more like dessert than breakfast but it's fine with me chocolate is good anytime
well ironically it's about the same time that i got out yesterday
by the time i got to camp got set up and got a little work done yeah it's about the
same time but we are about to head out to do some sightseeing it's a beautiful day
grand teton national park is named for grand teton
the tallest mountain in the teton range it abruptly rises more than seven thousand feet above
jackson hole almost 850 feet higher than mount owen the second highest summit in the range
grand teton national park is an almost pristine ecosystem and the same species
of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times can still be found here
it is just stunning here you really need to see it for yourself to experience the true majesty
if you're wondering why i'm not hiking this is grizzly country and as a rule
i do not hike alone in grizzly country i have before however i try not to make a habit of it
i will be doing a backcountry trip as i mentioned
and that will most likely be in grizzly country it's going to be somewhere in this
greater yellowstone area so there will be hiking however i will be with a group
