Was 2024 the year you hit the road – and flew – once again? Our readers certainly did, and they reported back on their adventures along the way and shared stories about greek islands, Downton Abbey raids and camel rides in the Sahara.
This week we hear from a Los Gatos couple whose recent Wyoming trip included some particularly memorable sights. Read on for details, then find more travel inspiration at www.mercurynews.com/tag/wish-you-were-here/.
Wish you were here
Wyoming: Los Gato resident Gene Sabo, his wife Laurie Turner and their golden retriever, Sundance, visited Grand Teton National Park (pictured) this summer. “Aside from the gorgeous mountains, there are easily accessible lakes like Jenny and Jackson and lots of wildlife to see,” says Laurie, “including moose, bears, pronghorn, eagles and osprey.
“The Tetons are located between two other attractions, Jackson Hole and Yellowstone National Park. Jackson Hole includes the town of Jackson which is not to be missed. If you are adventurous, I highly recommend you try tandem paragliding from the top of the ski mountain in Teton Village. You will not get better view somewhere.”
TRAVEL TIPS: Allow several days to visit Yellowstone, Laurie says. It’s such a large national park with so many natural wonders, “consider staying a couple of nights in at least two different areas, so you can spend more time experiencing the park and less time driving.”
