Day 19

From Seattle we headed to Boise. On our way there we stopped to have brunch with Ben’s dad in Yakima, WA. We found a great trail to hike before meeting up with him. 

We decided to stay in the Walmart parking lot just outside Boise for the night. Terrible idea. Neither of us slept well and I ended up with a cold. Last time we do that with two dogs and an overnight low of 35. 

Day 20

We didn’t end up spending much time in Boise and hiked one morning and headed towards our next stop Pocatello. 

Day 21 

We stopped in Pocatello, ID on our way to Yellowstone and stayed at the KOA there. The next morning before hitting the road we went to the local donut shop, Amazing Glaze. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping there. Not only were they delicious, but the price was right – 4 donuts and 2 coffees for $7! 

Before reaching the Park, we needed to wear the boys out and stopped for a hike in Targhee National Forest.

Day 22 

On our way from the hotel to Jackson we stopped for a hike. 

Bridger-Teton National Forest 

Unfortunately, it was pretty cloudy, so we weren’t able to get the clearest view of the Tetons. Even so, they did not disappoint.

Day 23

We started the day off with a hike before getting in the car for the 4 hour trip to Salt Lake City.
