On to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone

We left our hotel in Little America, WY mid morning and had a pleasant and short drive up to the Tetons and Jackson Hole. We drove through the park and scouted out photo locations for the next morning when the easterly sun is more favorable for mountain shots. We walked around Jackson and saw the wild west shoot out that is staged each afternoon on the town square for the tourist.
On Saturday we returned to the Tetons NP for some photos and then headed to Yellowstone for the afternoon. We've both been there so we will concentrate on some picture taking in key spots. Upon arriving in Yellowstone we were made aware that a major link in the park road system was closed and that we would be required to travel a much lengthier route to our sightseeing spots and then back to our destination in West Yellowstone. The combination of the road closure and Labor Day also made for some slow travel. We did make it to the Canyon area for some photos but that was about it since most of our time was spent in the car. The weather stayed nice most of the day but we did hit some rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
