Teton to Home

Morning at Oxbow Bend

We left Teton National Park with a grand view from Oxbow Bend. Unfortunately at the top of the pass leaving the park, we hit a deer. I never saw it until it was in my front fender. The car had about $2500 worth of damage, but we were able to drive it home.

So how was the trip? We love Canada's Rocking Mountain Parks and this was the best weather we've experienced there. It was great to explore Jasper Park in more detail, especially Maligne Canyon and Edith Cavell Mountain. The water features in the parks continue to amaze us, all those waterfalls and glacial lakes. It was great to visit the Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park, an area of the park we had never seen before.
Unfortunately, Yellowstone, our favorite park, was just too crowded. We'll have to come either earlier or later in the season next time, rather than during the peak six week period. I wouldn't mind doing all these parks again.

A 14 minute video of this trip with more pictures and video is available on youtube.
