How I know the United States is a woman...I've seen her Tetons

From Grand Teton Trip


Sorry about the punny post title. I couldn't resist. I was also going to post this yesterday but wanted to give my little pooper a day of blog celebration. She deserves at least that much.

This last weekend Brandon and I traveled with our pups to the Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming. It was a quick 5 1/2 hour drive to a gorgeous range of mountains that starkly emerge from the flat Wyoming land.

We took a couple of hikes and saw some amazing scenery and large wild animals. My quest to see a bear was unfulfilled but we had a buffalo cross right in front of our car. That was fun!

We met up with Brandon's parents who were at the beginning of a week long trip through the Tetons and Yellowstone. Brandon could just afford the weekend to leave from work so we just hung out at the Teton's with them. It was great to see them as always and they were very patient with our pups.

Unfortunately the town of Jackson (no dogs, even on leashes, in any of their city parks) and the National Park (only allowed on paved paths) are not super dog friendly so the poor dogs had to stay in the car a lot. If you look closely in the picture below you can see their cute little heads propped up in the car.

Luckily it was cool enough to do that, but there was very few shady spots as well so I did feel bad. We took them out when we could and got some cute pictures:

Most of the hikes were on top of at least 3 feet of snow that still littered the paths. It was a great time to go through the park because it was warm, and uncrowded, and still gorgeous.
