Using Gros Ventre as our base, we drove the Antelope Flats Road several times (usually a hot spot for wildlife, but not right now), revisited favorite drives along the Teton Park Road, and headed to two spots that were new to us.
Schwabacher Landing shows up in the books a lot, but we had never gone there because we were afraid the road was too rough. This year we decided to give it a try. There is about one mile of gravel road, but it was not terrible. At the end of the road, there is a lovely walking path along a fork of the Snake River. We can imagine that at certain times of the year or day, there are lots of bigger animals enjoying this access to the water.
Did I miss your blog on Glacier National park??
Pictures and blog this time just as excellent as always.

Hi Adrienne, I think you saw our blog post on Glacier because you wrote a comment for it. Here’s the link if you want to check it out again: https://trail2blaze.com/glorious-glacier-national-park-montana. And maybe you missed our post on Yellowstone. Here’s that link: https://trail2blaze.com/yay-for-yellowstone-national-park. Thanks for reading. We love that our trips remind you of your trips!
AHH! How I miss Colorful Colorado!!! I do love the Tetons as well!
Your kitty harnesses look so much more comfortable than the little things I used to put my kitties in. They absolutely hated them. One kitty would not even walk, but do a bunny flop and refuse to get up. Only 1 kitty finally got used to it – despite tons of wearing and ‘practicing’ before any real deal.
Lovely, lovely trip!!!
Hi Mindy,
The kitty harnesses are from a company called Kitty Holster that I found online. Our cats had the same problem at first–flopping over and refusing to move, but eventually they got used to these. Now they know that the only way to go outside from the RV is with the harness on, so they actually request it–Leilani jumps on the couch and puts her paws on the arm of the couch, as if to say, “Put that harness on me. I want to go outside!” It’s pretty cute. Thanks for reading and writing!
Great photos!
Thank you Cindy😘
Hi Hank and Cindy;
Thanks so much for sharing in your adventures. We are blessed with such amazing beauty and wilderness in US! I have explored Colorado a bit, but never seen the Grand Teton National Park! Wow! Someday I need to plan a similar trip!
The clothed cats with cute harnesses were fun to see!
When I was growing up in 1960s in a semi-country area outside Cincinnati, OH we brought baby white Lynx cats (with short tales) from Canada to our country yard. We could ONLY have them because no regular cats were within .5 miles of our house PLUS a neighbour had 40 acres of woods across our street where our Lynx cats could roam and hunt rabbits, birds and mice. The male Lynx cat grew to be 30 lbs and the female 25 lbs while getting less and less sociable as they grew up.
When we moved to the city of Cincinnati, OH, we left our Lynx cats with a farmer who needed them to keep mice, foxes and rats form his barn, where they slept. We found out later that the cats loved it there, plus they enjoyed having them. Their dog learned quickly learned to stay away from the cats, and then there was harmony at their farm.
Take care, Bob
Wow! Who has lynx cats anymore?! We NEVER let the cats roam when we’re camping. Sometimes they do escape the harness, though. One time Danno went to the wrong RV door to get back into our RV and you could just see that confused look on his face. Too funny. 😳
