From Grand Teton to Yellowstone

On Saturday we drove from Grand Teton NP to Yellowstone NP. Stopped to view the West Thumb Geyser Basin. It has snowed on us off and on since we got to Yellowstone. Today saw a black bear that had just taken an elk calf and watched and heard the mother elk circle the bear and call her calf. Have also seen moose, mountain goats and bighorn sheep. We are staying in primitive cabins with only a wood burning stove for heat and no Internet and no cell service.
