Jackson Wyoming, Park City Utah, Ogden Utah, Nevada

We spent a day in Jackson Wyoming, a very cute town with fantastic mountains just outside of the Grand Teton National Park. This was our (free) campsite:

You can't tell from this photo, but those tents are at the edge of a cliff looking down on large flat area, part of which is an elk nature preserve. You can see it a bit better in this photo:

We found bear paw prints right next to our site, but we didn't have any problems.

After Jackson, we drove to Park City Utah, which is an extremely affluent, very cool mountain resort town about 30 minutes outside of Salt Lake City. There are piles and piles of trails, all going up into the piles of mountains surrounding the city. Nothing is flat there. Even the easiest trail was hard biking for me.
Here's a photo.

We stayed at a campground in Midway, just down the road from Park City. FYI there is a sweet looking hot springs in Midway, one of which is under a limestone dome. I didn't realize it was there in time, otherwise I definitely would have gone. I will go the next time I'm in the area, because I have some unfinished business with a bike trail that's beyond me right now. Luke rode a trail that had a mining ghost town way up in the mountains that I need to ride.
However, this large rattlesnake we came across on the road almost made up for it.

Here it is on the road, where you can see its size and the meal halfway down its body.

After this, we went to Ogden Utah. It is a great nature area with mountains (of course) and rivers and lakes but since it was the weekend it was too busy for our liking. We stayed a night in a campground and did a ride and then started making our way across Nevada.
The drive to Reno was more interesting than I expected. The Bonneville Salt Flats were huge...it goes on for miles and miles. I also really enjoyed watching the trains going through the area.

That's all for now! We'll be in the Northern California area for the next few days.
