Five Days in the Tetons

We have been out of touch for the last 5 days as we wandered around Teton National Parks. Two days we had snow and the other 3 were bright sunshine.  It made for two completely different experiences.

Day one the Tetons in the sun.

5 days later the Tetons covered in the first snow of the year.

This morning we got up and had to spend the first hour clearing snow from the RV and car before we could head south to Utah.  We only had 2 inches in our campground but as we drove south out of the park it continued to snow and at one spot there was 3 or 4 inches.  By the time we got to Jackson, Wyoming we had out run most of the snow and we only had occasional snow flurries after getting further South.

Our 5 days were full of more wildlife and great scenery.  We drove many small roads and a few dirt roads as we wandered.

Moose in the tall grass.

Brown Bear eating berries standing in a bush about 8 feet off the ground.

The wildlife was only outdone by the scenery.  Rivers, lakes, mountains, all were amazing.

This morning along the Snake River.

The Tetons from our campground on Jackson Lake at sunset.

Lower Slide Lake.  One of many mountain lakes we visited.

String Lake with Grand Teton mountain in the background.  My personal favorite lake.

Tonight we are at a state park on Bear Lake in Northeastern Utah.  It's freezing outside but a least there is no snow.  We are headed for Ogden, Utah.  Terri's friend Collette is picking up a rental car to head back to Boise after spending 23 days traveling with us.  We will miss her but mostly we will miss her dog.  The dog has been the perfect traveling companion.

We are headed toward Arches National Park in Southeastern Utah next.
