For my final stop with Dyann, we left Yellowstone and headed south to Grand Teton National Park, after spending a day in Jackson, Wyoming, an artsy town located in between the two national parks. Upon recommendation from a friend, we went out on a boat on Colter Bay, one of the many lakes in Grand Teton.  As you round the bend about 20 minutes into the trip, you become surrounded on all sides by the Grand Tetons, some of the most picturesque mountains I’ve seen. These mountains were carved out by glaciers and one still remains, though much smaller and continuously melting. We were actually taken to the spot where the glacial melt flows into Colter Bay. Pretty neat. We spent the remaining time checking out the other various lakes in the park. I definitely could have spent more time in this park, but was due in Denver for the wedding of my long-time friend Emily!

We headed into Denver and I said my goodbyes to Dyann, thanks for being a fantastic road trip partner! I’ll work on my random animal noises for next time. I met up with one of my best friends, Barb, stayed in a fancy hotel in Denver, and actually put on makeup and a dress for the first time in a while! The wedding was a rockin’ good time, I was elated to see such great friends FINALLY tie the knot (they were going on like 10 years together or something). Congrats Emily and Dan!
