Grand Tetons and Yellowstone
The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks were on our 1969 east-bound itinerary. In the Tetons, the highlight was a raft trip on the Snake River. The black and white pictures are mine, the color pictures are my Dad’s slides. Cathy and I visited these Parks in 2002, just before I got my first digital camera. These pictures are therefore my last analogue slides. In 2013 we visited the Tetons again, and this time we also saw the mountains from the western side, see here.

In 1942, Ansel Adams made his famous photograph of the Snake River in the Grand Tetons National Park. When we stood at the same spot in 2002 and 2013, the river was largely obscured by the pine trees.
Ansel Adams and another famous photographer, William Henry Jackson, stood on the top of Signal Mountain in the Tetons, and took these pictures in 1941 and 1871, respectively. We drove up there in 2002.
