Was 2024 the 12 months you travelled again – and flew through the skies? Our readers actually did, reporting on their adventures along the best way and telling stories of Greek islands, Wanderings through Downton Abbey and camel rides within the Sahara.
This week, we hear from a Los Gatos couple whose recent Wyoming trip included some particularly memorable sights. Read on for details, and find more travel inspiration at www.mercurynews.com/tag/wish-you-were-here/.
Wish you were here
WYOMING: Gene Sabo, his wife Laurie Turner and their golden retriever Sundance from Los Gatos visited Grand Teton National Park this summer (pictured). “Besides the beautiful mountains, there are accessible lakes like Jenny and Jackson and lots of wildlife to see,” says Laurie, “including moose, bears, pronghorn antelope, eagles and ospreys.”
“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're feeling adventurous, I highly recommend trying a tandem paragliding flight from the top of the ski mountain in Teton Village. You won't get better views anywhere else.”
TRAVEL TIPS: Plan to spend several days visiting Yellowstone, Laurie recommends. The national park is so large and offers so many natural wonders. “Consider spending a few nights in at least two different areas so you can spend more time in the park and less time driving.”
