Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Having never been to Yellowstone or the Tetons, I was excited to explore—particularly as we were visiting during the height of bear season. Sadly for us, the wildlife didn’t really cooperate. Except for a coyote running in on a pronghorn, we didn’t see much. But that didn't stop the exploring. The mountains were something else and the sunrises were magical, but I sure wish we’d seen a bear.
