Stop 17 – Grandview Campground, Ashton, Idaho

The drive to Idaho was amazing!We passed through Grand Teton National Park and loved the soaring mountains. It reminded us of the Dolomites in Italy.Betty (our truck) made it over the mountains like the beast we expected her to be!

We stayed 5 nights in the national forest campground. The site was large and private with electric hookup.We bordered scenic Mesa Falls and could hear the rushing waters from our site.We chose this location due to its proximity to Yellowstone National Park. We went into Yellowstone on two of the days.The immense beauty of Yellowstone is unfortunately overshadowed by the crowds of people. To me, nature brings a sense of peace and tranquility, however, crowds and bumper to bumper traffic brings a sense of anxiety. It was hard to truly appreciate the beauty because the presence of so many people seemed to destroy it. So, we decided to cut the stop short and picked up camp and headed to Norris, Montana.
