It was a big archway at an entrance to a park -but what exactly was that arch made of? Well, there are really four arches at every corner of the park, and they are made from elk antlers. They were built by the local Rotary Club in 1953 and have become a beloved Jackson Hole icon as a landmark and photo backdrop for wedding shoots and family portraits. I read that each of the four arches are made of between 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of antlers. The local Boy Scouts pick up antlers that were shed at the Elk Refuge for the arches and harvest them for the arches. Each antler weighs between 5 and 10 pounds, and are mechanically attached around a steel frame to create these magnificent arches. I also read that the antlers degrade over time, so constant inspection and replacement is necessary.

There are signs that provide information of the area. This view became well known due to the famous photographer, Ansel Adam's, that has a popular photograph of Snake River with the Teton mountains in the mountains. You can take pictures of this place at sunset or sunrise for even better views. All of Grand Teton National Park is so picturesque and this stop is no different.

It was well worth the stop. The marker reads: "Taylor's Bridge. Idaho's earliest toll bridge spanned Snake River at this rocky site in 1865. Replacing Eagle Rock Ferry, 9 miles upstream. James Madison Taylor (a relative of Presidents Madison and Taylor and a founder of Denver, Colorado) settled here in 1864 to develop an improved route for his freight line from Salt Lake to Montana's new gold mines. After his bridge was built, telegraph service reached here July 16, 1866 and Eagle Rock (as Idaho Falls was known until 1890) became a regional transportation center. A railroad bridge was built adjacent to Taylor's bridge in 1879."

There…read moreare places you visit and places that genuinely stop you in your tracks -- Grand Prismatic Spring is the second kind. This is hands down one of the most stunning natural wonders I've ever seen, and I've driven across this country more times than I can count. Nothing prepared me for how massive and alive this place feels in person. Here's the thing though -- you HAVE to experience it two ways to get the full picture. First, walk the boardwalk up close. The steam rising off the water, the vivid colors shifting from deep blue at the center to turquoise, green, yellow, and burnt orange along the edges -- it's surreal. You're standing right next to something that looks like it belongs on another planet. Then drive about a mile or two down the road and do the Grand Prismatic Overlook trail. It's only 0.8 miles one way, easy walk, but the view from up there is everything. That's the iconic shot you've seen in National Geographic and documentaries -- the full rainbow ring from above, the steam curling into the sky, the forest stretching out behind it. It puts the whole scale into perspective. Don't make the mistake of only doing one stop. Do both. You'll thank yourself later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It's about 1.5 miles round trip. It's not difficult, however there's a small area that is a little steep.

It was a really cool experience and a must when visiting Yellowstone. I know when my family came this way when I was a child, while most others got to see it, I wasn't feeling well so my mom and I hadn't gotten a chance that trip to come to Old Faithful. I'm glad I was finally able to see it in its full glory. It is quite crowded, so when it comes to pictures just try to stay aware of your surroundings. Try to stay out of main pathways as well as being conscious of the fact it's practically impossible to get photos without others in the background and you'll probably end up in some photos too. If you're already here, don't skip past this well known spot, it's a fun experience for sure. The park is big so if you want to see it all I can see it taking days, especially since the fastest you can go is 40-45 miles an hour with a lot of areas actually being closer to 25. Both my husband and I were so glad we stopped by.

There's a massive parking lot and some paved walkways to get to the viewing area-very accessible to all. Signs outside will indicate the next anticipated eruption time-which are usually pretty accurate, hence the name. It's a fun experience-gathering with a bunch of other excited strangers, watching and waiting for Mother Nature to burp. As people are waiting, they are taking each other's pictures for them, asking where everyone is from and inquiring about the wildlife sightings experienced that day. It's community building. The actual eruption lasts just a few minutes, but is worth seeing at least one. And who knows? Maybe you'll make a new friend while you wait.
