Grand Teton National park is known as Mountains of the Imagination. The park got its name from its tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The park is located in the northwestern part of Wyoming. The park includes the major peaks of the 40 mile long Teton Range. Most of the northern sections of the park are in a valley known as Jackson Hole. The park is a renowned landing place for wildlife viewing, climbing and mountaineering, hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing, backcountry camping, fishing, boating, and floating etc.
These photos are from our one day trip to Grand Teton National park in late August 2012. The park looked amazing even though it was a cloudy gloomy day.

Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the U.S. and is renowned for its unique hydrothermal and geothermal wonders. Most parts of Yellowstone National Park is in the state Wyoming, but it also spreads to neighboring states Montana and Idaho. The park is a volcanic hot spot and offers tremendous geothermal geysers and hot springs. Waiting and watching the famous Old Faithful gushing geyser to erupt has become a park tradition now. The Park also features a diverse landscape with dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, waterfalls, the Yellowstone Lake, and wildlife including bison, elks, antelopes, bears, wolves, and foxes.
