USA - The West April 2012 Grand Teton National Park


Day 5



Entrance into Grand Teton National Park
 As usual, we departed early in the morning and headed to Grand Teton National Park. To get the most of the trip, we decided to take the Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byways which drive crosses the Continental Divide and give us the opportunity to loop both Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park.




Along the route you’ll be presented with dramatic scenery and diverse landscapes and wilderness that can hardly be matched from other areas in the USA. We managed to spot a few elks roaming in the fields as we passed by. Best to be visited from late spring till late autumn as the byways is closed during winter season. Our trip in April was pretty much challenged with the most unexpected weather condition as it was really cloudy and snowing on our way up the rugged mountains.  So gone our picture perfect photos opportunity for us to capture the beauty of this spectacular place…. 




Pretty much unprepared, the southern entrance into Yellowstone National Park was closed and the only way to enter the park was through the northern entrance that was scheduled to open the next day!  Guess what??? The northern entrance is located in Montana…..some over 350 miles from here….



Leaving Wyoming, we passed into Idaho ….the potato state. We proceeded to a small town at the West entrance to the park along the way and checked-in into a nice cozy motel for a good night sleep and rest. Tomorrow, a long drive awaits us….
