We just got back today from Grand Teton. We spent 10 days at Gros Ventre campground and loved it! Got there early on a sunday morning, and waited for about an hour for a great site! site 65 in A loop! Just beautiful! We visited Yellowstone from there. Wasn't a bad drive at all from Gros Ventre campground. Was an 11 hour day trip though but really didn't feel like it. We just did the lower loop, will make another trip for upper loop. To be honest we enjoyed Grand Teton much more than Yellowstone. The fire wasn't too bad the day we went up to Yellowstone. Could see the smoke and they had signs on the road saying don't report fire they were aware of it. Anyway as the days went by the fire spread and got worse and worse and when we left this past Tuesday, smoke was covering the tetons. They did evacuate lizard creek campground and Flaggstaff cabins and campground early Tuesday morning. Sirens went off for fire warning!! Feel bad for people coming in to park and finding out they could not get to Yellowstone from Grand Tetons. I took pics of the smoke but I don't have a clue how to post them on here. Anyway great trip!!
