We are in a Best Western outside Salt Lake City. Amazingly a rainy patch, a couple of long days of driving, and the dreaded Labor Day Weekend all came together for us at the same time! So we will be in hotels two or three nights until we get to Zion NP when the crowds will be gone and the weather dry once again. Nobody is complaining about a little rain. This part of the country really needs it!! We have experienced forest fire haze since Nebraska and had a good view of a big fire just east of the Grand Tetons. This morning the south-west winds died and we woke up to a strong forest fire odor in the tent.

Anyhow we have just finished up 6 days in Yellowstone and 2 days in the Grand Tetons. Three campsites in all and a really terrific experience! We met some very interesting folks along the way including a group of thru-hikers on the Continental Divide Trail.
Anyhow reporting on 8 days of National Park experience would take more words than you would care to read. So click on the following links to see a few pictures:
