We weren't able to get out of Yellowstone until almost 7 pm and then by the time we made our way to the overlooks that give you an amazing view of the Grand Teton range, the sun was just about to go down behind them. I had never seen the mountains with that effect before and it was breathtaking. With the sun setting behind the mountains it made the Snake River look purple and change the shade of every green in the grasses and blues in the sky to colors I can't even begin to describe. I felt bad that Ben wouldn't see the sun shining bright on the mountains, but he was in just as much awe as me. This picture doesn't even begin to show all the colors present along the range as the crescent moon came out. We even saw another moose after we left this overlook. By the time we go to my favorite overlook (the Snake River Overlook) where you see the famous image of the Snake River making S-curves towards the Tetons, the sun was pretty much set with just a hint of purple and orange left along the mountain range. Sitting there, just Ben and I, reminded me of how lucky we all are to have had the insight to preserve the beauty that our very own country has to offer. I know I'll be back soon!
