It may be a certain persons special birthday, but we still set the alarm for a pre sunrise start. After all we're not on holiday for a rest!
The sun was just coming up as we checked out, and started heading for Grand Teton.
As before, the early start gives you some good photo subjects
Before leaving Yellowstone we met some more Buffalo on the road
Then revisited a last thermal area
and saw even more buffalo, they're everywhere!
It wasn't too far to drive to get to Grand Teton

The birthday girl |
Initial impressions of the park were good..
These were cemented when we arrived at the hotel in the afternoon and walked into our room to this stunning view.....
Decided to have a late lunch here and Elaine opened a few cards :)
Then it was off see what we could see for the rest of the day. First was a cute little church..
and why would you have a stained glass window backing the alter when you can use this view?

That really is the wimdow! |
Continued to drive around the park, towards a road we hear is good for wildlife at the end of the day.
Picked up some good views on the way.
We arrived at the road hoping to top off Elaine's birthday with some good views of the local wildlife. Luckily we weren't dissapointed...
and finally an atmospheric sunset view on the way back to the hotel. Not a bad way to spend your birthday!
