Wednesday Day 4: Jackson WY - Yellowstone National Park, 97 miles

Back in the car this cold and cloudy morning for a short(ish) drive up north through Grand Teton National Park and into Yellowstone where we'd be staying for two days.

We were worried about the weather as the day called for clouds and snow showers, which would severely limit visibility. However, mother nature did not disappoint, as there was a lot of fun and impressive stuff for Keira (and Crystal and Naveen) to see along the way.

First, just 30 miles outside of Jackson, we were greeted by parting clouds and a magnificent view of the Tetons with fall colors in view.

Keira also got a chance to see her first bear once we were in Yellowstone.

Not to mention her first geyser as well.

And not to be outdone, Mr. Buffalo also made an appearance.
