A Grand Teton Entrance

We left the badlands this morning at 6am. There was an incredible sunrise and we didn’t even have to camp with the tent fly. The evening temperature was quite perfect for sleeping. After about 90 minutes worth of driving we arrived at Mt. Rushmore. There was a huge line to get into the park but we had great views of the mountain on the road prior to the entrance. To save money we stopped on that road took some great photos and video and then headed onto Crazy Horse where we did the same. Oh I almost forgot! On the way we stopped at Wall Drug where they have pretty much everything and anything for sale. In the back they have a giant jack rabbit (please see picture, a guaranteed laugh). There was also a T-rex in the back that attempted to scare children. Naturally it worked on both of us. After Wall drug we got to Mount Rushmore and then we finally made it to the Grand Tetons. In Wyoming we went through an incredible thunderstorm. It started to hail so hard that 2 or 3 inches ice were plated onto the pavement. Ryan and I both looked at each other in complete awe. They are indeed quite grand. Lots of camping and hiking tomorrow! We won’t have access to a computer for several days so the blog may be a bit quiet.
