Our plan – as you can see from our website – was to spend some time in Grand Teton National Park before breaking the journey south to Bryce Canyon in Salt Lake City.
That plan changed in Yellowstone: while in Mammoth Hot Springs we met a really nice family from Oregon who had some interesting advice about visiting the Arches and Canyonlands National Parks while using Dead Horse Point State Park as a base. Thanks, Dan and Meghan!
So it was that we headed south through Grand Teton and even ultimately decided to power on through, rather than staying overnight there. Part of the reason was that the weather was a bit ugly – it was raining heavily, on and off – but if we’re honest it’s because the admittedly beautiful landscape reminded us too much of Switzerland, and we didn’t come all this way to see places just like home.
