One More Ride! Grand Teton NP

Rain is coming our way here in the Tetons.  Spotty today, and most of the day tomorrow (our last day), so we made 2 decisions.

1.  We are going to skip tomorrow's rainy day and leave a day early.
2.  Today is going to be a couple of short bike rides and a short drive to get in the last few spots to see.  Which turned into picture day (separate post).

Ohhh, and a last desperate attempt to find the Moose.

We rode up Signal Mountain to the Summit.  A gorgeous overlook view of the Snake River running through the valley with another mountain range in the background, and of course the Teton Range on the other side of the valley. Temps were cool, but we layered up properly and were fine. The ride was peaceful, but we kept our heads on swivel searching for moose or bear.

A frequent occurrence is the conversations that arise with others about the bikes.  Mostly seniors intrigued by the thought of riding.  It is a great pleasure sharing our fun.  At the same time, I am both enthused by seniors wanting to still live, and profoundly certain that this is a good path for us.

A second ride of the day was a ride to Jenny Lake.  One last opportunity it to spot a Moose, but mostly, just squeeze in one more ride.

No Moose!!!

We had a rain cell coming in, so we ducked into the store at Jenny Lake to get an ice cream for My Lovely and let it pass. Someone had told us that every time it rains there it hails too. It did! Small hail...didn't last long. Neither did the rain. On our ride back to the truck it once again felt like we had the park to ourselves.

Just fyi...there are bikes for rent, including ebikes, at Dornans in Moose.

A foonote...that night another storm rolled through, and again, it hailed. Enough that we were a bit concerned about possible damage even though we were under the lodgepole pines. I ( Amy) climbed up on the roof the next morning to sweep the slide out before retracting it, and no damage!Leggi altro
