Wind River Range, Teton & Yellowstone NP - September 2007


We went for 10 days camping in the Wind River Range, the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park with my sister Andrea, Hanspeter und Carmen.

What a great time we had! Sometimes a bit chilly in the morning, but otherwise we had perfect weather. And the wildlife was spectacular. We saw pretty much anything what's there to see.
Enjoy the pics!
