We went to both the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone for our honeymoon, and then when we were in Utah for grad school, Jackson was an easy day trip. I hadn't been back since we moved away in 1983 until 2018 when we returned so I could run the Grand Teton Half. I was really worried about the altitude affecting my race, but it wasn't too bad (we live at 250 feet). <br /><br />That's great news about being released to run again!

Maybe we were early in the season or something. I liked Grand Teton more than Yellowstone, but both were amazing. Looks like a great trip! I've probably mentioned this before, but check out Gypsy tours next time you go to a national park. It's a great audio tour app. I've bought 13 of their tours now. My family loves the tours.TechChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960422420943812763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-30135815979976630702021-11-01T11:18:37.058-05:002021-11-01T11:18:37.058-05:00Wonderful pictures and great sister time, too!

Yosemite is so big that we only saw a portion of it. I'd recommend at least 3-4 days. There are lodges that you can stay at, but they are only open June-September, which is, of course, the most crowded time to go. We loved that there weren't very many people there. We were able to see everything up close and didn't have to deal with a lot of people. If you don't mind cooler weather, this is the way to see it! I want to go back and see the rest of the park.Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-70967274571646983842021-11-01T01:51:48.133-05:002021-11-01T01:51:48.133-05:00Wow, your photos are amazing, Wendy!
