Our first brief stop after Fort Collins, CO was Cheyenne, Wyoming, a rugged-seeming western town just days away from it's annual Frontier Days Festival (we're always missing the excitement by a few days). It seems more 'real western' than any of the other cities we've visited, and we're already planning to make it back for the festival some day. Next it was on to Jackson, Wyoming, our base for exploring for the next couple of days. This is not a very rugged-seeming town... Built for tourism and t-shirt sales, it's there to house people looking to explore the parks or go skiing. And explore the parks we did! Luckily, Scott's Uncle Larry and Aunt Deb just visited the parks a couple of weeks ago, and were able to offer some great suggestions for things to do and see. Thanks UL & AD! We saw some beautiful scenery: mountains, lakes, waterfalls, geysers... you know - just what you'd expect. Highlights were seeing elk, deer, coyotes, lots of buffalo, and even a playful black bear cub (pre-teen?). We got to see the bear in the best way possible - safely situated across a ravine. Our one disappointment was that we did not spot any moose... guess we'll have to go visit the national parks of Alaska for that one.
