Our final morning was spent in Grand Teton National Park finding the real Moulton Barn and taking a few more shots of Oxbow Bend in the morning. We were excited to take a different route back to home through the Dubois Badlands.
I had been to the South Dakota badlands (which are the most famous ones), but I honestly thought these were much more impressive. They were more red in color and had the beautiful Ramshorn Peak as a backdrop. It wasn't easy to find the perfect views and we sure were glad to have a nice all-wheel drive vehicle to reach these vantage points!
The first few hours of the drive had varying types of "badlands" and entertained us quite a bit. After breaking for lunch in Rawlins, we headed through Laramie and Cheyenne before hitting Fort Collins and eventually Denver. Someday you should ask Dave how he pronounces the city of Laramie. Can you say Oh-knee-eye-duh? Ha! :)
Overall, it was a fantastic trip of beautiful sights, amazing company (the best!), and endless amounts of wildlife. We would definitely go back!
No one but those of us that went to the Packer Hall of Fame will get the 'Oh-knee-eye-duh' dig. And Dave will never live it down.
