Yellowstone to Jackson Hole

On Thursday we drove south through Yellowstone National Park and entered the Grand Teton National Park. We spent Thursday night and Friday in Jackson, the main town in Jackson Hole. Way back when Jackson Hole was named the word hole sometimes meant valley, as in this case.
