WYOMING - GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

August 12 Saturday Took a drive to the Grand Teton National Park which is about an hour below Yellowstone National Park on the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. initiated the purchase of this land to establish the park. Another beautiful drive, although it was an overcast day so the views of the mountains were somewhat hazy.
