Las Vegas Weekend

Fox PortraitBest of the Tetons is a site dedicated to photography and travel in Grand Teton National Park and the Jackson Hole area. The majestic Teton mountain range offer a unique backdrop to compliment a diverse variety of wildlife—all found within a relatively compact area. In short, it’s a photographers paradise! I acknowledge that I am fortunate to live here! With that said, readers here should already know my wife and I “get out of the valley” a couple of times a year. Last weekend, we made a long weekend trip to Las Vegas for Darla’s sister’s wedding.

A One Day Family Trip to Yellowstone

It’s impossible to see all of Yellowstone in one day! But, when you have only a day, you can still see a lot of the popular hot spots.

Oxbow Bend Most frequent readers at Best of the Tetons already know I spend most of my time in Grand Teton National Park and the surrounding Jackson Hole area. It usually takes a little prodding to get me to drive through the Park during the busiest summer months. My oldest son, Tyler, and his girlfriend, Laura, arrived into town last Thursday with Laura’s parents, Bill and Sally. Neither Laura or Sally had ever been to Yellowstone, and it had been many years since Bill had been there. That seems like enough of a prod! Darla and I became unofficial tour guides for a day.
