We arrived at Fireside Buffalo Valley RV Park in Moran Wyoming on July 16th. To my surprise and delight, another RV Park with a bar! What a great way to catch up on your laundry. I just realized I didn’t get any pics. Our last night there, Terri joined me this time. We drank, had the bar singing “Sweet Caroline” and took turns running next door to their laundry room. When My family and I get to singing Sweet Caroline we are headed for trouble, so I stopped at 3 beers. I digress…
On the 17th , we visited the Grand Tetons a mile down the road. The Tetons sit South of Yellowstone,
Tetons has many long backcountry trails for serious hikers. We are not the backcountry type. We drove the scenic route to Jackson Hole that sits South of the Tetons and did smaller hikes to overlooks.
The Grand Tetons multiple glaciers:
Above is an actual pic I took of the Teton Glacier. Below is an explanation of how the Glacier is shrinking:
We stopped to visit a log cabin church called the Chapel of the Sacred Heart. A beautiful church, nestled in the foothills. It was constructed in 1937 and continues to hold services today.
Saw some beautiful flowers along the way:
At one point, we saw people gathered on a bridge staring down into a creek. We quickly realized there was a moose sighting.
This big boy was chillin’ and could care less about the crowd above:
Jackson Hole Wyoming is a quaint little tourist town that is booming this time of year. We stopped at Cowboys Million Dollar Bar for dinner. Their bar stools are unique!
The following day we road our bikes to Jackson Hole:
Our campsite was located in Buffalo Valley and it lived up to it’s name. We got up close and personal to some Bison:
We also got a peak at some Pronghorn deer:
This is just a taste of what Yellowstone has to offer!
