From the South Entrance of Yellowstone, it is only a few miles to the North Entrance of Grand Teton National Park. As we traveled south and dropped in elevation we found stands of aspen trees, turning to gold as autumn approaches.
At the Jackson Point Overlook on Signal Mountain, we have a magnificent view of the entire Teton Range.
