Day 8: Yellowstone to Rock Springs, WY

Today we headed out of the South Yellowstone entrance and into Grand Tetons National Park. We had some rain and wintery mix while entering the park. The park had a very different landscape from Yellowstone, and would have been really pretty had the sky not been filled with gray clouds.

We got to see Jenny Lake which I was pretty excited about (obviously). It was pretty as the clouds started to clear up. They do a boat ride across it that we'll have to do next time we're in the area, too cold and cloudy this time!

    Grand Tetons was actually more beautiful than Yellowstone, thanks to more varied plant life. Yellowstone is, I think, about 90% lodgepole pine, which is impressive but a bit monotonous.

    After seeing so much of the same for several days made Grand Tetons seem like a riot of colors. It's a shame that a cold front was moving through while we were there, with light showers and flurries (the famous 'wintry mix' - a favorite of TV weathermen). It must really be something on a clear, sunny day.
