Jackson to Livingston
Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Parks
Day 30 — two of the greatest national parks in America, back to back.
Day 30 was a national park double-header.
Grand Teton National Park: the Teton Range rising abruptly from the Jackson Hole valley floor, with no foothills to soften the transition. The peaks — Grand Teton at 13,775 feet, Mount Owen, Mount Moran — are among the most dramatic in North America.
Yellowstone National Park: the world's first national park, established in 1872. Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic Spring, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the geysers and hot springs and mud pots — Yellowstone is unlike anywhere else on Earth.
A chance meeting with the editor of Mustang Monthly somewhere along the route — the kind of spontaneous connection that happens when you're driving a notable car across the country.
The day ended in Livingston, Montana, visiting Ray's Uncle Bud, Aunt June, and Cousin Jay.

The Day's Route
Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton National Park — the Teton Range rising abruptly from the Jackson Hole valley, with no foothills. Grand Teton peak reaches 13,775 feet. The Snake River winds through the valley below.
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone — the world's first national park, established in 1872. The park sits atop a supervolcano and contains more geothermal features than anywhere else on Earth: geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. Old Faithful erupts approximately every 90 minutes.
Chance Meeting — Editor of Mustang Monthly
A spontaneous encounter with the editor of Mustang Monthly — a reminder that the ALL50 road trip was attracting attention from the automotive press.
Livingston, MT — Uncle Bud's
Livingston, Montana — a small city on the Yellowstone River, at the northern entrance to Yellowstone. Ray visited his Uncle Bud, Aunt June, and Cousin Jay.
