After three days exploring Grand Teton National Park; it was time to move north and begin our exploration of Yellowstone. This first boulder in planning this trip was our lodging reservations in-park at Yellowstone. We decided to stay at Canyon Lodge because of its central location, relatively new facilities, and availability of reasonable costs.
To make the most of our transition day, however, we planned to stop along the route and explore the West Thumb Geyser Basin, Old Faithful, and anything else that draws our attention along the route. The drive from our Grand Teton hotel (Signal Mountain Lodge) to the first attraction is about an hour, but we're in no rush!
After entering Yellowstone, we arrived at the West Thumb Geyser Basin to find it closed (it would remain closed the rest of our trip :( ). Stay tuned for our visit to the Upper Geyser Basin!
