We met Terry’s family in Green River, Wyoming to begin our trip. We live close to the Utah border and they live close to the Wyoming border, meeting at Green River had us (both) driving 6 hours and a few minutes to the destination.
Our route went through Grand Junction and over Douglas Pass, to Rangely, Colorado then onto Green River, Wyoming. I DO NOT LIKE DRIVING DOUGLAS PASS!!! Pretty much straight up with lots and lots and lots (are you car sick yet) curves and straight down with lots and lots and lots (you are car sick now, I’m sure) plus the two-lane highway needs some tender loving care.
The colors were spectacular!
My photo doesn’t give them justice, but here is an idea.
We stayed in an Inn in Wild Horse Canyon, then the next day we drove through the Canyon and we saw a herd of wild horses, (which I thought was really cool).
Of course, you have to take my word for it that they were wild, they are wild.
We looked upon civilization
From the top of the canyon and even saw a train heading somewhere.
The start of the day was pretty cool. We will end the day in Jackson Hole.
Stay Tuned!

P.S. Marie ,from My Little Corner of Rhode Island, is doing a daily 4 o’clock photo, which I thought was a good idea. I asked her if I could steal her idea and do my own 4 o’clock photo showing how the day is moving into the long nights of winter.
She said “SURE”! Actually, she said “steal away” so I did!
These my two 4 o’clock photos on October 9, 2012 in Delta, Colorado.
The shadows are thick but the sunlight still plentiful.

JACKSON HOLE!!! Come see ME! Just an hour and change over Teton Pass. You’ve picked a great time to visit this part of the world. Lots of colors and a whole lot less crowds in GTNP and Yellowstone NP. Have a great trip.

Even after a frost, you still have things blooming.. That is awesome.
So glad you got to go to Yellowstone and the Tetons. Hope all of the wildfire smoke was gone when you were there… The smoke ruined our views of the Tetons.. We’ll have to go back. Can’t wait to see more pictures…
I would love going through the Douglas Pass… That is OUR type of roads!!!!! ha
Hugs,

Mountain Roads don’t bother me (lots of practice)…that’s a great photo from the top. Can’t wait to hear your take on Jackson Hole – it’s been way too long since we’ve been there. The 4 p.m. photo is a great idea — early evening is definitely when you notice winter coming!

I happen to like roads like Douglas Pass. What I really like it to hike up and sit on a ledge and watch the traffic and trains below. they have no idea that I’m up there watching them.
