On our trip to Red Rocks Campground – Future Post, we stopped by Old Faithful. We did not spend a lot of time, but we did get to see her go off right on time (to the minute). We watched a few movies about Yellowstone and had lunch at the lodge. All in All, a very nice stop. We will probably go back to see everything.
Pam met David William Peterson, wildlife photographer who followed the famous Grizzly Bear 399. He signed her book and print art featuring 399 and 4 cubs.

We headed north 80 miles to Coulter Bay Campground in the norther portion of Tetons National Park. We were in Site K229 and it was perfect. Again, no electric, water or sewer, but we could run our generator. This worked out great.
The park has good restaurants and tons of great hikes. This time our major hike was around Jenny Lake for 8.64 miles. We saw a Yellow Belly Marmot along the way. He was not fazed at all by us, matter of fact, he seemed to be posing for pictures.
We saw our first Bear – A big Brown Bear. It was 1/2 mile from our campsite just off the road – took pictures from the Jeep. The rangers were trying to move her out away from the campground.

We stayed 5 nights at Gros Ventre Campground in the Grant Teton National Park. We had no hookups (no water, electric, sewer or generators). This was a real test for our new setup. Our batteries and propane worked out great. We took an RV ride for a couple of hours in the middle while running our diesel generator. With this quick dive, we were able to dump tanks, fill water and fill our batteries.
Gros Ventre (pronounced ‘grow-vont’), means “big belly” in French and was a very nice national park. The Teton Mountains were fantastic. Pictures do not do them justice.
We hiked a lot and got great exercise. The hardest was the Taggart Lake and Bradley Lake Loop for 7.5 miles.
We went to Rendezvous Park and saw the Mama Mimi Sculpture. Pam dropped her phone into the river, and Kelly fished it out and it survived! We also ran across a mama moose and her cub.
We went to Mormon Row to see the famous barns and buildings. I think we go a classic photo of the most famous barn.
We bought a day pass to ride the Gondolas at Teton Village. We rode up the major gondola and had waffles for breakfast above 10,000 feet. We rode another gondola up a different mountain and hiked most of way back down. Finally, we went back up in the evening and had pizza and beer for dinner.

After leaving the Devils’s Tower, we traveled to the small town of Bubois, WY. This is a cute stop over town on the way to the Tetons or Yellowstone.
We stayed at The Longhorn Ranch Lodge & RV Resort which is right on the Snake River. A great little campground if you are ever in the area. We really just had a chill out day to recover from all the travel.

After visiting Crazy Horse, we headed to the Devils Tower National Monument, the first National Monument in US history.
We stayed at the appropriately named campground: Devil Towers View RV Park. We could literally view the monument out the windshield.
Did you know, a guy parachuted to the top, and was stuck for 6 days or that there is still a 35′ ladder from 1863 wedged into a crack? Find these in the photos.
