I M Perfect lady

It was a breath of fresh air to leave the city behind and back to the mountain drives – heading towards the Tetons and Yellowstone.

Soon we were on a desolate stretch of road – miles and miles of seemingly black and white.  

Beautiful in its simplicity.

Our intention was to head into the Teton Mountains – Jackson Hole and up through the south east corner of Yellowstone.

We spent the night in a small town heading north to Jackson.

In the morning we continued North seeing more incredible mountain sights.

We could see the traces of recent snows – but the roads were bare and the skies were clear.

I'll be honest, I was a bit concerned to be heading towards the mountains again – and seeing them snowcovered.

The skiing appears to be in town in Jackson Hole.  This ski hill was closing on Sunday – we were there on Saturday.

This is the Million Dollar Cowboy bar – that my husband remembers when he was young going to.  40 plus years later and it is still a popular watering hole. 

Around the town square they had these antler arches. Very western.

Leaving Jackson Hole heading up to the Tetons, the snowbanks were so high, we didn't explore too much – we couldn't see over them and it was cloudy – so not to much to see.

Thankfully it wasn't snowing – but you can see they had just gotten a whole bunch – which is why the Road that passes through Yellowstone was closed and would be until late May.

They had it open for a few miles; but there wasn't much to see besides the snow.

Just to give you an idea.

And once you left the mountain tops, back to dry roads. It would seem impossible that we were just in snow higher than our car.

So we then decided to hit Custer Park and the Badlands heading East.
