Kathy and I decided to go to Grand Teton National Park over Labor Day week in 2004. We backpacked the Teton Crest Trail over the first four days of our vacation, then day hiked for the remainder of the trip. We also took a one day trip into Yellowstone National Park to see the highlights, we will have to go back sometime soon to see Yellowstone in more detail. We saw so many animals on this trip including a momma bear and two cubs, moose, coyote, bison, pronghorn, elk, marmots, pikas, mule deer, an osprey catching fish, and many others. We had perfect weather for all eight days, and saw the sun rise and set each morning and night. Temperatures, even in early September, dropped below freezing at night, although days were quite mild. Of the national parks I have been to I would say Grand Teton is second only to Glacier National Park. Hope you enjoy the pictures of our wonderful trip.
