Grand Tetons with Jackson Lake in ForegroundFri, 7/18/08
Grand Teton National Park, WY: Left Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone at 10:00 this morning and arrived at Grand Teton at around noon. The road to the south entrance of Yellowstone followed the Lewis River with a pretty water fall and then flowed into a deep gorge. This area was hit pretty hard with the 1988 fire. Some parts have grown back pretty well, but a lot haven’t. Eventually the Lewis River runs into the Snake River. We bid good bye to Yellowstone and entered Grand Teton National Park. I can see why they call these mountains the Grand Tetons—they sure are grand. And the beautiful Jackson Lake sits right at the bottom of them. We’re at the Colter Campground which is a national park campground so we have no hook-ups. After getting set up we drove around a little bit. I’m starting to feel lousy now, but my symptoms aren’t as bad as Mike’s. We did see our first moose on our little drive. They have been very elusive. And I guess bears are a problem here. They had to kill a grizzly on July 8 because she was breaking into tents, etc. Partly cloudy today and it hit 79 today.
