At the end of August, we took off for a three week National Park tour. Our first stop was in the Grand Tetons. We spent one night in Jackson Hole before embarking on a 4 night/ 5 day backpacking trip. Out of sheer dumb luck, we enjoyed the solar eclipse at the dead center of totality. After an absolutely amazing time in the woods, we enjoyed the luxury of a cabin in Colter Bay for 3 days. And now without further ado, please enjoy our pictures.
