Stoltzfus West Trip: Crater Lake, Jackson Hole, and Grand Tetons

We're trying to seize each moment and not think too much about heading east again. The drive to Crater Lake was beautiful! The snow banks along the way were the highest yet. The lake itself was magnificent! The water was so blue!

After stopping at Crater Lake Friday, we drove to Bend, OR, and spent the night there. Chet started out early Saturday morning while the rest of us were still in bed. It was a big day of driving, but the nice interstate roads were a real welcome, compared to the mountain roads we had been travelling, and the miles went by quickly. We enjoyed staying at a beautiful campground in Idaho Falls, where we stayed until Monday. It overlooked a lake, and had nice roads for the children to bike on.

The town of Jackson Hole was buzzing with tourists. The highlights for us were riding the "Cowboy Coaster", and seeing a moose beside the road!

We can't wait to see Curt's this week! Our plans are to head to Yellowstone today, and spend the next few days there before heading to Cody on Friday.
