Parks on the Air in Grand Teton NP, Wyoming. FT-891 and Chameleon MPAS. POTA. 4K

Parks on the Air in Grand Teton NP, Wyoming. FT-891 and Chameleon MPAS. POTA. 4K


I took a trip to Grand Teton NP in Wyoming. 14 hours away and spent 4 days and 3 nights out there. One of those days was in Yellowstone. Grand Teton NP and Jackson Hole Wyoming were among my Dads favorite places I when up there during Fathers Day week because this was the last place we traveled to before he passed away. Good memories. I wish I had seen a moose like we did 14 years ago.

My solid gear choices after hours and hours of careful research and returns.

My Trail Chair is the Alite Monarch. Weighs 1.3 lbs. Good for the short hikes.
