May 16-17


May 16-17   Yellowstone to Idaho Falls to Salt Lake City.

With 2 to 9 inches of snow forecast for later today we got an early start out of Yellowstone.

It was sunny again and we had a nice 2 hour drive through the Grand Teton’s.

Beautiful mountain scenery .







We stopped at the Jackson Wyoming Visitor Center to use the free Wi-Fi and  catch up on emails and news.

The elk shed them naturally


From Jackson we drove over the Teton Pass, a very steep and long climb with no passing lanes or pullouts.

Another 2 hours and we were at Idaho Falls and the Snake River RV park.

The weather was nice when we arrived but a storm came in with high winds and the temperature dropped to freezing.

With the news calling for snow again we left at about 8:30 am for Salt Lake City.

It is 3 ½ hour drive and it went fine , no snow on the ground anywhere but we passed through a few snow and hail showers.

We pulled into the Salt Lake KOA campground at about 1:30.

We stayed here once before, it is a very nice park right in the city so it is close to everything.

Spent the afternoon binging on tv and internet, reception for both was poor in Idaho Falls.
