Road Trip 2002

Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, and Wind Rivers Wilderness

The pictures below are from our 2002 road trip to Glacier National Park to climb McClintock Peak, Yellowstone National Park and our stay at Old Faithful Inn, visiting my brother in Jackson Hole, and then backpacking into the Wind River Mountain Range southeast of Jackson. A great road trip.
