Wyoming and Colorado

Grand Teton National Park is immediately south of Yellowstone, so we were really pleased that it was part of our route.
These pictures show off the beautiful Tetons, which are visible in most of the park.







We spent a couple of nights camping in the park, and I was relieved it was possible even with Hannelore's wrist in plaster. It eases the accommodation expense, the scenery is better and we often eat more healthily.
Grand Teton National Park has even better scenery than Yellowstone, but no thermal activity, and less animals. At least, that's the way we found it.

After the park, we were soon out of Wyoming and into Colorado. We saw a lot of 'badlands' type scenery, but I didn't get a good blog picture. 
This one of the Colorado river shows a little bit of the scenery, maybe not the most typical.


This is high plains country, but we still went through a number of mountain passes, this is the Hoosier Pass, which is over 11,000 feet high, and would definitely have given us some trouble had we been riding.




We still are enjoying our meals, this is Hannelore in a typical bar where we had lunch. This was a hamburger, I actually had a bison burger, but, only the wimpy quarter pounder. With fries, of course.
Despite her dreamy look, we imbibed only water. I've found it's too hard to have a beer and then drive.

This is taken from our camping area near Pueblo, Colorado. We were pronouncing it 'pwayblo', but it seems more like 'perblo'. This is half way across on the trans America trail, I expected to make it this far on the bikes, maybe not much further.


However, with our car, we'll be going right across to the east coast, and as I write this, we are already half way across Kansas.
