Vist from son - Ohio to Jackson Wyoming

Last week we had a really nice visit from our son Treavor who lives in Ohio.
He only had 3 days to visit us so he few right into Jackson Hole airport.
The one and only bad thing about this lifestyle is being far from family and friends. It was so good to see him again after 8 months!

We spent 3 full days of activity and started off with an awesome raft ride down the Snake river , then to Jenny Lake to Hike to Hidden Falls then on to the incredible Jackson Lake Lodge for the night.
The Lodge has a million dollar view with excellent food service, a very nice pool, the rooms were very nice but not 5 star, as the rates were 5 star $350 a night!

We woke up and took off for Yellowstone National Park early the next day, we stopped at everyones favorite stop Old Faithful and took in the Geyser going off on the balcony of the Inn. We also walked around the boardwalks for a look at some of the smaller pools and mudpots. We spent a few hours there and headed over the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and then headed south back to Jackson, over 250 miles of driving that day!                                                                                    



Waiting for his plane to arrive, that's how you depart the plane!

Like everything else in Jackson, a first class Airport

Our son has landed in Jackson Hole
 Took at wagon train from town with the Bar-T Ranch, we did this same ride 35 years ago when our son was 5 years old. Then you followed the wagons with horses.

You rode to the back canyons of Jackson and the Bar-T has a huge meal and dinner show for everyone
