Yellowstone and Teton trip (pic heavy)
Posted By: mr tibbs, 09-28-2015, 08:38 PM

Last week the wife and I took a week vacation to Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks. The first five nights we spent camping in Yellowstone and sleeping in the back of Stoffel (my 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ61). I had my concerns about spending that many nights camping, but everything went AWESOME!! The rig was comfortable and ran great, we showered every other day at the Old Faithful Lodge, and the wife was a champ camping that long! In the park we did some sightseeing, some hiking, and a lot of driving around enjoying the scenery. Here are some pics:















Did we see any wildlife? You bet!!




These guys came strolling right through the campground like they owned the place!









I even stalked this guy until he stopped so I could admire his 70 series rig! He and his wife were from Germany visiting. Cool rig!





The next couple of nights we spent in a posh hotel in Teton Village just outside of the national park. After camping for five nights and using public showers it was a nice change of pace. The Tetons are incredible!! It's pretty damn tough to take a bad pic in that park!








An oddly specific sign


What do you know, the sign was right!!

It was a great trip with a few minor issues with the rig that we were able to handle. We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to do it again! There are a ton more pics found here: https://mrtibbs2004.smugmug.com/Travel/Yellowstone-and-Teton-2015

Thanks for looking!

Nice shots. Brings back some memories. We were in Yellowstone exactly 30 years ago this week - and we got snowed in. We could drive around in the Park but the roads in and out were closed for three days after we arrived. I must get out my slides and scan some. It was a memorable experience.

Great shots! I lived out in that area for quite a while, and they make me very homesick.

It's like I remember it. Beautiful shots, thanks for the tour. A little unnerving with the Bison on top of the camp.

Nice racks on those bull elk photos! Well done.

Yellowstone in winter is "other-worldly"!!!

Looks like an amazing place. I really like the photo fourth from the bottom (?) with the mountains and the yellow-orange trees.
