The Drive from CO to Yellowstone NP, through Wyoming & the Grand Tetons!

Breathtaking country! First, as we left Ft. Collins, CO and headed NW into Wyoming, we encountered some pretty hilly and dry terrain. As we hit the Teton area, it was more than hilly, they are HUGE, and there was even snow on the ground right outside where we were driving! Finally, just about an hour before we got to the Old Faithful area of Yellowstone, we watched the sun set behind the Grand Tetons. You know I had to pull over several times for that!

These photos start in the Northern CO and Southern WY areas and then end during sunset in Northwest WY at the Grand Teton National Park, near Yellowstone. Enjoy!

The land rises slowly...
