We had a slow start this morning due to the temps being so cold for us Floridians, i I am wearing 3 layers that I gradually peeled off during the day.
Tom started making coffee & I stopped him and told him we needed to go hang out in the lodge dining room & have a leisurely breakfast. ##smartest idea of the day!
It is amazing that it goes from cold to warm as soon as the sun comes out. We packed up and headed to the south entrance\exit of Yellowstone. The bison gave us a break & picked on othe cars today. We were beginning to wonder if the red motorcycle was getting them excited! There was a beautiful River gorge\ canyon just before we exited the park. We then rode directly into the Grand Teton National Park. We were rewarded pretty quickly with beautiful views of the majestic mountain views across from Jackson Lake then Jenny Lake. A few still had snow and one had a glacier.We then went thru Jackson Hole,Wyoming and ate at the fanciest Dairy Queen we have ever eaten at. We wish they had one in Palm Coast, they are very popular everywhere we have traveled since Iowa. We would have loved to explore Jackson Hole more, seemed like a happening place. We needed to keep to our schedule so we could set up our next camp in the light. After we went thru town we entered the Grand Teton Pass that brought us over the Tetons from Wyoming into Idaho. We climbed very steep pass thru the mountain and very steep decent down. They close this during the winter.I'm getting good at taking pics at 55 MPH. We just can't stop for every photo op!
After the thrilling ride up & over the pass we went through another pass called the Targee Pass toward the Snake River. We followed the Snake River into Idaho for about 150 miles to Massacre Rocks State Pàrk. What a beautiful park & campsite overlooking the Snake River. There was bad behavior on both sides. Indians attacked 3 wagon trains passing thru & killed 10 settlers, then the pioneers attacked the Indians and killed 40.

Glad you were on a bike and not in a wagon. ;-)
