Back to the Rockies! Grand Teton National Park is essentially connected to the south end of Yellowstone, a very short drive. We got a campsite inside the park no problem and explored the area; a 3 mile hike and some driving around. The Teton Mountains erupt right off of the lakes and rivers around the area, making for quite the sights.
We had one mission for the day: find a moose. Lucky for us there is actually an area called Moose, so we knew where to go. After extensive searching, we left disappointed. But wait! As we were driving back, a large crowd of people were gathered with cars pulled over on the side of the road and tourists flocking with cameras. This was our scene. Exiting the car in a flurry, we saw our prize. A moose cow was munching away on some leaves with complete disregard to the ruckus around her. Her calf then emerged from the brush, a bonus to the unexpected sighting.

| She cheesed for me |
As we were playing cards back at camp later that evening, a moose came wandering through our campsite. She first emerged not far behind the bathrooms and slowly meandered to about 20 feet behind our tents. Three moose in one day? Mission accomplished.
