Yellowstone National Park/Grand Tetons National Park

During a quick work trip, I made time to go the extra mile and finally visit two great national parks. I couldn't have asked for better weather. The skies were bluer that most days, while the occasional cloud made the perfect movie backdrop. Old faithful proved to be worth the road trip. Within ten minutes of it's expected eruption time, it spewed out hot water at a rapid and violent pace. Hundreds lined up to watch it's magnificence. Since I was short on time, I only had a few hours to wander the Geyser area, but I did fall in love with the very historic Old Faithful Inn. Did I mention the epic views of the Grand Tetons reflecting off of the pristine lakes in the area? I'm so happy I was able to cross these visits off the list, but it's almost certain this wasn't the last visit.
