5 Reasons You Should Go to Yellowstone

5. Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park abuts the southern border of Yellowstone. And the Jackson, Wyoming airport — the airport serving Yellowstone — is actually located within this park. On the last day, we drove through Grand Teton. This picture shows the Tetons across a beautiful still lake in the park. The mountains are majestic and, in some places ,glaciated. It was a great way to finish our time in Wyoming.
