Summer 2014: Brief Return to the Road

Glacier National Park had been calling us back to the road since we left it. However, it was the Tetons that captured our hearts this time.

Part 1: The Tetons

After two nights in a noisy campground at $23 a night, we took for the hills of Gros Ventre Wilderness to camp in solitude and camp for free. We found a spot that the locals (Dan :) once called "Strawberry Hill," but now refer to as "Wedding Tree." This secluded spot gave us an unobstructed view of the Tetons and was just up the road from a well maintained pit toilet, trash cans, and potable water. And, at the peak season of summer, we had only one neighbor for a few days during the week and a half that we camped there.

The View



In the area, we enjoyed the views, Andy climbed, visited Teton Mountaineering, soaked in hot springs, picked berries, relaxed, and waited for bison.
