Donna's Comments About the trip
I couldn't believe the view when I stepped off the plane in Jackson Hole. The
Grand Tetons were amazing! We stayed at Jackson Lake Lodge and had a full view of the
Grand Tetons from our room. We awoke in the middle of the night and saw the moon shining
on the mountains. You'd have to see it to appreciate the beauty. Don't miss the Alpine
Slide in Jackson Hole for a fun ride down the mountain. Also great shopping in Jackson
Hole. For a peaceful, quiet time, spend a night at the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel. I really
enjoyed this old hotel. We took an old 1 lane road over the hill from here into Montana.
We stayed at Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone which had been my desire that I had had for a
lone time. What a unique place, and when I say unique I really mean this place is unique.
We had a view of Old Faithful Geyser from our room. We went on a Ranger guided trip up the
hill overlooking the Inn and learned a lot about Yellowstone wildlife and the history of
the park and the Inn. Forest fires raged through the park in 1988, and the Inn was
threatened but thanks to a change in the wind and to volunteers who put out sparks that
landed on and near the Inn, it was saved. The Inn also had just had a sprinkler system
installed on the roof the previous year, good timing. It was said that it looked like
waterfalls comming off the roof.
