Grand Teton National Park Day 25
Grand Teton National Park, WY, June 2025 Kate wanted MORE cancel stamps, so she plotted a convoluted route from Fishing Bridge to Jackson Hole, WY that hit every cancel stamp (that was open) within 100 miles. Maybe it was only 20 miles. We drove down John D. Rockefeller, Jr Memorial Parkway to get from Yellowstone…

Yellowstone National Park Day 24
Yellowstone National Park, WY. June 2025 The weather forecast claimed cloudy and rainy, so we decided on less interesting sights. Today, we planned to check off the Old Faithful task.

Yellowstone National Park Day 23
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We planned to do nothing today because John had to make a lot of calls. He finished them earlier than expected, so we decided to look for owls in the evening.

Yellowstone National Park Day 20
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 One of the office workers told Kate that there were goslings at Madison, so Kate needed to go see the goslings.

Yellowstone National Park Day 16
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We planned on a short walk and getting a cancel stamp at Norris because the weather was “supposed” to be bad. Also, John had to climb that hill to get back from the White-faced Ibis photographs on his off day. There are a series of lakes across the middle…

Yellowstone National Park Day 15: Part 3 – Beaver False Alarm
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 Spoiler Alert: It was a Beaver false alarm. John was taking pictures of a male and female Barrow’s Goldeneye Duck from Fishing Bridge. The ducks were diving to feed, and it looked like they stirred up a stick from the bottom. A short time later, Kate started yelling about…

Yellowstone National Park Day 15: Part 2 – Canada Goose-zilla Returns!
Yellowstone National Park, WY, June 2025 We went to the pull-off in Hayden Valley where we saw the juvenile Trumpeter Swans because we saw Green-winged Teal ducks there. John got a grainy and poorly exposed picture one afternoon while trying to photograph the swans. There were a few of them there today, but they were…

Yellowstone National Park, WY, May 2025 (Note: These images are just click to expand because I am trying to catch up.) After the hiking at Barnes Hole Road, we went Harlequin Lake, which is only a mile and a half from the Madison Visitor Center. On the drive to Harlequin Lake, I figure out that…
