After our quick passage through the Tetons, we headed to the Grant Village campground. We were lucky to get a campsite right at the edge of the ‘West Thumb’ of Yellowstone Lake. The next day we were up at the dawn (fantastic view over the lake) and off for a very full day of touring around the ‘Grand Loop’. Pictures below!
