I haven't posted on here in a while, thought I'd share a few images from my recent trip.
I've been to YS four times before this year, it is one of my happy places so I try to get there every year. However, I'm not a huge fan of big crowds so I never go in the summer. This year, with my business basically shut down and most travel off the table, I had the idea to head to my favorite national parks the second week of June. The park had been pretty empty with no foreign tourists, no buses in the parks and campgrounds not open until the 15th. My wife couldn't go, and I didn't feel comfortable flying, so I decided to do a solo road trip. Our home is about 925 miles from Jackson, WY or West Yellowstone, so I drove out in one (long) day..same on the way back. Easy drive at pretty good speeds.
Anyway, as usual the parks did not disappoint. I had almost no crowds even in the popular wildlife spots. I spent a couple of days in the Tetons, and a few in Yellowstone. I am calling this bear week. I saw 16 individual grizzlies, and almost as many black bears. Several moose, thousands of bison, a few eagles, etc. Here are a few wildlife images from the trip. I'll likely post a few landscapes on the other forum.
