Jackson/Yellowstone

This past weekend we went with the Trythalls to Jackson WY and Yellowstone. It was a BLAST and a half. We loved every minute. Ty and I went up thursday afternoon and nikki and blake didnt end up coming til friday morning. I love Jackson, its such a cute little place that has a lot of rustic charm, not to mention its right smack dab in the middle of a mountain so you get lots of wild animals roaming around. I have so many pictures and videos to share, so please, bare with me...

First we saw these guys. Yes they are miniscule, my lame lens wasn't working right. You can only see one but there are two HUGE moose ,and this one had big antlers

Then we saw a ba-jillion buffalo about 50 yrds
You away from the road

Then there was this lonely fella just hanging out by itself in the field.
I was super excited because I have never seen a Pronghorn deer before.

But then when we were coming back from our safari these buffalo were right on the side of the road, we were about 20 yrds from them, then they eventually crossed the road, coming right at us and we got scared and drove off quickly!

That was only the first day with Ty and I out on the safari. The next day we only saw these with the Trythalls. We, well I, saw as small moose but we were too fast on the busy highway to stop and turn around to get a picture. The bottom picture we were literally 10 yards away from that HUGE thing. We were probably WAY too close, and that was dumb on our part, but I figured we were in our car and it was ok...


Then the next day was YELLOWSTONE DAY!!!! I was more than excited to go because I have never been and I had heard, from a VERY close source that its the Disneyland version of national parks. I was expecting a few bears, tons of huge elk, a few moose, and maybe, just maybe a real life wolf!!! Can I just say OVERRATED!!!! I was HUGELY disappointed in Yellowstone. There is no doubt that there are millions of animals there, but the forest is SUPER dense that you can only see in like maybe 20 yards at best from the main roads. And its not like you can just go on some unpaved roads off in to no-mans land either, you have to stay on the main road. The only way you would see lots is if you were to go back country hiking or maybe go to the west part which i hear is less dense and more open. Or if you were lucky and an animal just HAPPEN to be ON the road where you are, even off to the side is questionable. But I do have to say that Yellowstone lake and Old Faithful was pretty awesome. But all in all lame-o!!! But on our way, while we were still in Teton park we just happen to catch these...

A momma grizzly and her two cubs!!!! We have also never seen a grizzly either. This was by far the highlight!!!

Ok and last but not least a few more fun shots that I had fun taking.
