Below is the journal for our trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone from May 13-30, 2022. We drove out through South Dakota and Wyoming (including the Badlands and Devils Tower) and back through Montana and North Dakota (including Teddy Roosevelt National Park).

To make it more manageable, we've broken up the journal into several sections:

• Overview
• Travel West (May 13-16)
• Grand Teton (May 17-20)
• Yellowstone (May 21-26)
• Travel East (May 27-30)

We've tried to make the journal entries as compact as possible while still telling you some of the interesting things that happened each day. Hopefully, we've struck the right balance. If you'd like to slog through the entire set of pictures we took while on our trip, you can check out the photo gallery.
