Left Yellowstone and drove through the
Grand Teton NP and then through Jackson Hole and over the Teton Pass
to our destination for the day, Idaho Falls, ID.
After leaving Yellowstone NP you enter
immediately into Grand Teton NP. The Grand Teton mountains are very
young mountains, only 9 million years old and are formed along a
fault with the mountains rising and the valley sinking. Lake Jackson
forms an impressive foreground for the range, but we were surprised
to see it so low when we first saw it. We later learned that drought
out west has been so severe this year that they have been draining
the lake to provide irrigation water.
