Yellowstone National Park - Old Faithful

A visit to Yellowstone is not complete unless you visit Old Faithful Geyser.

I was shocked to see how large the crowd was the day we went.  We were always told to go after Labor Day to avoid the crowds.  I would hate to see how bad it is during their "busy time".

Yellowstone National Park - Grizzlies

Driving along on Day 2 of our park trek, we came across several cars on the side of the road with people out looking through binoculars and pointing.  We decided to stop and see what they were looking at.  They thought they were looking at big-horn sheep but they were so far away it was impossible to tell.  As we were standing there someone yells "grizzly.....RUN!!"  Next thing we know there is a momma grizzly coming down the hill on one side of the road straight towards us.  Then her 2 cubs come right along behind her.  The momma really didn't give a hoot that we were all there.  Justin swears he could have grabbed one of the cubs and gotten it in the back of the car before the mom would have noticed.  Haha.

Grand Teton National Park - Moose

I never got around to posting all the pictures from the Yellowstone trip so I am just going to post some of my favorites.  These are from a spot outside of Jackson where Justin and I have lots of luck finding moose.  I think there has been one at the pond every time we have driven by.
