Monday 13.7. (Grand Teton)

Today, we left Yellowstone and continued further to the south into the Grand Teton National Park. At night, there was a great storm in Yellowstone, the most intense one by now. It was fairly cold. In Grand Teton, we made a 2-hour tour by the Jenny Lake to the waterfalls on the other side of the lake; Grand Teton are high mountains (cca 4 km), it liftes practically from the plains, and than from the east it looks pretty impressively. Same as in the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone, the tops of the peaks were covered by the snow. We could not swim in the lakes, the water was too cold. We got from the park and after two days we finally had a decent meal, tried the fourth fastfood (so far the best one, Hardee's). Often, the work on the roads made our drive slow and often we smelled a run-over skunk (pretty common on the American roads) but have already arrived and compensated it in the camp´s swimming-pool (and have a real wifi, finally).
