The Adventure's of April - Day 3

As you can tell, this post is a little late, due to the busyness of our schedule the past two days. 

We are arrived in Arizona at Charles & Nan Braught's house (Nathan's grandparents) safe and sound last night about 10:00pm. 

But I will explain how we got here and the details of all of that, tomorrow :) 

So we got up early Wednesday morning and spent a couple hours in Jackson enjoying the beauty and pure awesomeness that is Jackson Hole, WY. We walked around downtown and went into a pretty sweet camera - photo supply shop, some gift shops, found a few cool souvenirs, and got some tasty coffee at one of the coolest Starbucks I've ever been in! 

Nathan's favorite building in Jackson. 

Nathan and I were hoping the cloud cover and snow would clear up as it got later in the morning, but it did not.  We tried to head back north to try and see some of the Tetons but had to turn back after about 30 minutes, due to heavy snow and fog and the roads being quite atrocious :( 

That was a major bummer to us, as that was one of the things we were most looking forward to seeing and photographing along this trip. 

It continued to be snowy and foggy for quite a while as we drove along the snake river in the Bridger National Park. 

 This was so gorgeous driving along this river gorge. The water was so green and clear, we went for a little hike along the river and quite enjoyed ourselves :) 

 After we got out of the canyon the land got flatter and it was raining to the right of us and looked so cool! 

Cool antler arch over the road... Pretty much the only elk we saw on this trip ;p 

After all that driving through Wyoming, we finally reached Idaho!

Super low clouds along the mountains. 

We made a stop at Bear Lake State Park, which straddles the Idaho and Utah state line. 

A cute little Groundhog that kept us company at the lake.

The water was a brilliant blue/green, it was amazing.

Epic clouds above the lake.

Driving through the Bear Lake river valley and the Cache National Forest in Utah was amazing. The red foliage around the creek, the brilliant green/blue water, and low fog, and drizzling rain... It was gorgeous. 

Heavy fog and clouds driving through Northern Utah. 

The sun starting to go down as we were getting closer to the Salt Lake City area. 

It was dark by the time we go to Salt Lake City, and so I didn't get to photograph anything in that area, sadly :( We got to our hotel in Nephi, UT around 10:30pm and had a fantastic nights sleep. 

I will try to post again tomorrow sometime of all that we did yesterday. 

Until then, have a wonderful evening!
