Grand Teton National Park - Continued

Grand Teton National Park

Southbound we rode, toward Jackson Hole. The mighty Grand Teton Mountain range was off to our right, and there was just no way to ride without looking over from time to time to catch a glimpse of these might beasts..

We stopped in Jackson Hole for fuel, and a quick bit to eat. Once we found our road heading westbound, we were off toward the ascent over the Tetons

The road was amazing. No real hard switchbacks, just easy flowing curves (a few tight ones) as we started climbing. There were a few places that we could see the road spilling down the mountain behind us toward Jackson Hole - it's weird to watch road below you as you are riding.. Over the pass we went, and begin the decent on the other side.

Once we 'landed' on the 'back' side of the Tetons, we stopped for a minute to get off the bikes and just take in the view from the other side. It was almost as incredible as the front. There were not as many jagged edges on the rocks, though - they were a little more rounded..

Back on the road we resumed, and headed northbound, crossing into Idaho. This is the first time I had the chance to see a real potato farm. They are massive!! We passed several of them along the roadways, and they seemed to stretch out toward the west forever..

As we arrived closer to Yellowstone National Park, we could feel the breeze starting to get a little bit chilly. It appeared as if we might hit a little rain (or something) up ahead.

Our arrival in Yellowstone - next time
