1994 at 8:00 AM or shortly thereafter and car pool to Old Faithful
Lodge. At 10:00 AM, we will board a bus for a tour of the Upper

Canyon of the Yellowstone, Mammoth Hot Springs, and other spots
along the way. This trip is approximately 6-8 hours, depending on
the length of stops. We will return to Colter Bay by 8:00 PM,
later if dinner is eaten at Old Faithful Lodge. Field trip
participants may wish to eat dinner at Old Faithful Lodge before
returning to Colter Bay. Please indicate if you are interested in
this optional dinner on the registration form. Approximate cost of
the Field Trip will be $20.00 (assumes 20 participants), less if
more participate. Lunches or picnic supplies can be purchased at
Colter Bay. Weather in September is usually sunny during the
day, but cold at night, with occasional rain or snow showers.
Therefore, be prepared to dress in layers. A jacket, sweater or
sweatshirt, pants and comfortable walking shoes are a must.
A hat and gloves should be carried just in case.

pay a $4.00 park entrance fee, which is good for 7 days, or have a
valid Golden Eagle Passport.
WEATHER--Temperatures in Grand Teton National Park during September
