| Grand Teton NP & Yellowstone NP It is the best time to enjoy the view of National Parks in the early morning, I believe. For one thing, I cannot view beautiful sunrise except that time. Another reason is that in that time mountain, river, forest, grassland, etc. take on a large variety of colors.  Moreover, wildlife frequently appears in that time. Although sunset time is also good for same reasons, I prefer sunrise because I simply like "start" rather than "end."One problem to enjoy beautiful in sunrise is it is sometimes too early. It was  4:30 AM that I left Motel today. It was the earliest time for me so far. Almost all people think I'm crazy, I know. However, getting out early was absolutely correct because the views of Grand Tetons were marvelous. I'm sure it was only time to see such beautiful scenery. Although I planed to go to two vista points such as "Snake River Outlook"
and "Jenny Lake Overlook," I drove through and dropped at almost
all view points after all. I wish I could see each view point in sunrise
time because the really good time to enjoy the change of color is too short.
 Today's good weather changed my mind to go to Yellowstone NP again. I could
enjoy scenic drive through Yellowstone NP. But "Terrace Mountain"
was not as good as my expectation because there was a lack of running hot
springs. However, staying in two National Parks for four days satisfied
me. |

 What I Learned Today - "Some places in Yellowstone NP was once a Fort."According to the official brochure, "U.S. Army protected the park from 1886 to 1916." Some books tells that National Parks including Yellowstone NP were observed by U.S. Army before National Park Service was established. |
