On our previous visits to Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming, we’ve coupled it with a trip to Yellowstone and we’ve spent a lot of time driving from place to place within the park. Trying to see as much as possible we’ve focused on the Teton Park Road. This time we stayed inside the park instead of in the town of Jackson and concentrated on taking it slow and really drinking in the experience. We lingered a long time on the Mormon Row Road yesterday when we spotted a herd of bison. Today as we headed out we drove north along US-191 then east on US-26/287 at the Moran Junction pausing a couple of times to capture awesome views of mountains and then to watch a grizzly bear and her cub feeding nearby.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
