<\/a>Sign in the Park<\/p>\nWe spent the night in Jackson Hole, checked out of the hotel, and returned to\u00a0Yellowstone National Park in the morning. It was a beautiful day and we drove along the scenic road through Grand Teton National Park instead of the main road.<\/p>\n
The scenic road goes along Jackson Lake. We stopped to take photos and met a young family from New Jersey who had been camping for the last week. The two daughters were having a good time, but Mom yearned for the creature comforts of a good hotel. I was impressed that Jersey Dad was able to drive a huge pick-up truck pulling a very large camper. We wished each other ‘Happy Trails’ and continued on our way.<\/span><\/p>\n We ate our picnic lunch and continued to Mammoth Hot Springs which is located at the northern end of Yellowstone. The bubbling gas pools were impressive and huge.<\/p>\n On our southbound drive, cars were stopped on the road to allow a herd of bison to cross the road. Toward late afternoon, the animals feed closer to the roads. We stopped and jumped out of the car to take photos with the other tourists.<\/p>\n After a time, we decided we had taken much too many bison photos, so we pressed on to The Lake Hotel where we had reservations for the next two nights.<\/p>\n Major renovations had been completed this year and the interior was\u00a0like a new hotel. It was very<\/strong> comfortable and almost elegant. Lake Hotel had the services of a five-star hotel (bell hops, concierge, valet, dining room, great location, etc.) except there was no<\/strong> cell phone service, no wifi, no internet service, and no television.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Ride Through Grand Teton National Park<\/p>\n<\/a>Jackson\u00a0Lake<\/p>\n<\/a>Bubbling Gases<\/p>\n<\/a>Sulphur Hill<\/p>\n<\/a>Mammoth Hot Springs<\/p>\n<\/a>Colorful Algae River<\/p>\n<\/a>American Bison<\/p>\n<\/a>Crossing the Road<\/p>\n<\/a>Hello!<\/p>\n<\/a>American Tourists<\/p>\n<\/a>Calf<\/p>\n<\/a>Herd Near Our Car<\/p>\n<\/a>Yellowstone Lake Hotel<\/p>\n
