We first visited these parks by trading our Park City timeshare for Jackson, WY. We revisited when we wanted to return. In some years, it was challenging getting to Jackson. So, we also stayed in Island Park and Bozeman. In later years, we tried to return every five years. On occasion, when we there for more than a week, we made some side trips to places that could be visited on a day trip. We are looking for pictures from early visits to these parks. Those are the times when we have more pictures of the geology. Our visits of the past few decades are primarily focused on wildlife.

Suzie was not able to get time off so Craig and Brian went north. Brian was four years old. These photos have a blue tint due to age and overcast skies. (Yellowstone Lake)

We were in Jackson when Suzie said one of the World Trade Center towers was on fire. I came out of the bedroom and we watched the second plane slam into the other tower. The parks had heightened security. Foreign tourists gave us their condolences. Brian and his then girlfriend were with us. (Grand Tetons behind the Chapel of the Transfiguration [Episcopal])

During this visit we did a day trip to Cody, Wyoming. (Picture of a man walking up to take a close up picture of an elk. You can't make this stuff up)

We stayed in Bozeman in 2016. It was a year of fires in both parks. It is rare we see wolves. In 2016, we saw wolves.

There were some fires in the area. So, some photos have a bit of smoke in them.
