Yellowstone/Tetons trip <lots of pics>

A couple of weeks ago we went on a bit of last minute weekend trip to Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, and Jackson. The dogs stayed home because they aren't allowed on any trails there. It was a blast, here are some photos:

Mammoth (much less water there than I remember it seemed pretty dried up)

See the waterfall on the left side? We found a trail and headed to that

We took the Ferry across Jenny Lake. This is along the trail on the other side

I think these were called Hidden Falls, the picture doesn't do them justice.

I'm sure this meant to point around the corner but it looks like its pointing to the bucket, made me laugh

BEAUTIFUL pictures! Agh, I still yet have to make it out to Yellowstone one of these days. I'd be in love and never leave.

And, BF? Details - when did you meet/how/his name? :)

I haven't seen all your pictures (dial up - it takes forever), but you're talking about one of my FAVORITE areas of the US. My husband and I have skied there several times, and the Grand is one of my favorite places on earth. I know it was memorable!:D

You took fantastic pictures, and the landscapes are so great! Thanks for sharing, it's very interesting!
I would love to go there :love:

Waking up with such a big animal next to the tent must be very impressive :eek:

Beautiful pics! BF isn't too shabby either!!! :p

The air looks so clear and refreshing there - not at all like the hazy and humid weather here on the East Coast this time of year. I'm jealous....:)

EVERY single picture looks like it could be a postcard. I love them all!! I really wish I lived out west...*sigh*

Very Cool! Awesome pictures!

Looks like you guys really had a blast!

And now this BF...I'm with Rachel;)

Great photos Amy!:D
You go to some of the most beautiful places and take great pictures when you get there.:)
I'm really jealous of all the blue sky photos, we have had so many cloudy, rainy days here in the northeast this summer.
It's nice to see a few photos of you with the new boyfriend.;)
Rachel, Anna and I are waiting for more details, do the dogs like him?
Is he a U2 fan? Is he ready to travel to Vegas for a U2 concert?;)

Man, I miss Utah a lot. I need to get out there soon. And wait... boyfriend??? Who is this guy?! I need details. Text me or call me sometime, or somehow we need to chat on AIM. I feel like it's been forever. {{HUGS}}

Beautiful pics!! The bison shots are amazing. aww you and your guy look so in love. :) Have a nice sunday.

Yellowstone is still one of my dreams- these are wonderful pictures :) Looks as if you had a great time !

Wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing!:)

WOW AMY !!!!
these pics are FANTASTIC !!!

I was in Yellowstone NP in 1984; your pics brought back wonderful memories!!:)

Beautiful pictures! Those mountains make the Ozarks look like mere molehills. :D

I am totally blaming you for making me want to take a roadtrip to the west.

Great pictures! Yellowstone is wonderful, but I love the Tetons even more. I have very happy memories of camping there. :)

Amazing, amazing photos, Amy. You are just so adorable, you take the most magnificant photos and BF is a cutie too :) Thanks for posting those photos!

Very cool pics!!! Thank you for sharing them.

Thanks everyone! :) I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. It's a beautiful area, I love going there. And for those curious ones, pm or text me, I feel weird talking about things like this in a forum, yeah I'm strange. Kay is your number still the same? I haven't texted you in while, we should definitely talk, I've thought about calling you before but I know how much you like talking on the phone. :p

So unbelievably jealous that you got to see such a beautiful part of this country! Gorgeous photos (cool about the bear and the bison in the morning).

So Many beautiful pictures, all here in one thread! WOW! The sights would take my breath away to actually be there. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Thanks for sharing them with us!

What gorgeous photos! of SUCH a gorgeous place!

Thank you. :)

Stunning photos! :love: Loved the rest room one too. :D

Thanks everyone! :)
