We made it to the Rocky Mountains!

Saturday July 9: After an overnight stay in the not so impressive town of Mountain Home, Idaho, we traveled to Twin Falls, ID to see the spectacular Shoshone Falls. The view was spectacular and the gorge through which the Snake River runs is a marvel in itself. Not far from the falls is the point where my childhood hero, Evel Knievel, attempted his jump of the Snake River Canyon.

After the falls it was onward to Wyoming. We had quite a long stretch of dry and otherwise uninteresting terrain for the remainder of southeast Idaho. The scenery took a dramatic turn for the better as we proceeded to cross the Teton Pass into the Rockies. The reward was the majestic Grand Teton National Park in Jackson, WY. After taking in the scenery and snapping several photos, it was off to the hotel and dinner. Bubba's BBQ lived up to the hype. Brisket and ribs were delish!

Cece and Kelly are spending a little downtime in the hotel's heated pool and spa. Given we packed light, I'm taking care of some laundry to get us through the next few days.

On Sunday, it's off to Yellowstone for some hiking and picnicking with Boo Boo.
