Grand Tetons & Yellowstone Summer 2020

We had an amazing trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. The weather was amazing and we enjoyed the RV and nature. We hiked past crystal lakes and jagged peaks, spotted bison and other wildlife, and marveled at the geysers and hot springs. The girls were awestruck by it all. Exploring this magical corner of the country together as a family is something we will never forget.

Road Trip & Lakeside Camping

We drove up from Salt Lake and set up the RV right on the lake. Fishing, campfires, sunsets, a deer walking through camp and a birthday cake celebration in the camper.

Jenny Lake & Downtown Jackson

The girls climbed out on the rocks at Jenny Lake with the mountains behind them, we hiked along the river and then walked around Jackson and its famous antler arches.

Swimming & Floating String Lake

We blew up the raft and spent the day on String Lake. The water was cold but crystal clear and everyone jumped in!
