We visit Grand Teton National Park every year, and sometimes twice. It's our favorite national park. But we also love going up into Yellowstone National Park when we're there. We make a beeline to the far northeastern corner of Yellowstone. The Lamar Valley is wild, rugged, remote and beautiful. It's often called the Serengeti of North America because it's teeming with wildlife. We love to stay in a remote campground called Slough Creek. This year it was called the hardest reservation to get in the country. I can see why. There are only 16 sites, many of them right on Slough Creek. Bears, bison, wolves, otters, ducks and antelope are just a few of the wild things you can see nearby. It's rustic, so it's not for everyone. There are pit toilets and no water at the campsite this summer. That's because Slough Creek and the entire Lamar Valley was devastated by the floods in June of 2022. Everything was closed down that summer and there will be road construction for summers to come. We love it here, and we'll be back!
