Yellowstone + Grand Tetons, Wyoming & Bitterroots Montana

The Old Faithful... twice as nice (in the vending machines), as seen from the Lodge. 3:10 in the afternoon, just three minutes late. Every 90 minutes, with some variance...

Grand Teton National Park.

A lightning storm to the south of the Grand Teton, the peak with a big glacier on it, across from Jackson Lake, which is the outlet of Snake River, entrapped in Jackson Lake and led meekly out in a concrete bed -- would you believe -- before slipping into the Evil Kaneevel-defying jagged canyon it cut on the Oregon-Idaho border. Snake, like many important rivers for both the Pacific and the Atlantic watersheds, including several of the rivers that add up to Missouri, originates in the Yellowstone National Park, just to the North.

Bitterroot Mountains, or -- it's Idaho on the other side! Looking on from a cowperson's driveway in Big Hole Valley, Montana, on the way from Wisdom to Dillon. It doesn't get any better than this, and Renay, ASGP author (They Drivem Pickups, They Shootem Shotguns, and Agnieszka's Dowry contributor) used to live exactly across the mountain in the middle of the pixture. I know, cuz I have a compass and a map and a good head for this sort of thang. Trust me. Yup. That's where Renay wrote thar chapbook. Hee-haw.
