Teton National Park

Yesterday we left Yellowstone and arrived at Colter Bay campground, in Teton National Park! We spent the day getting camp set up, walking around  Jackson Lake, and seeing what the visitor center had to teach us about this beautiful area. The jagged granite Teton mountains loomed high above and provided a stunning backdrop for Jackson Lake.

This morning we got up early, and drove to Moose, where we hopped on a bike trail and headed for Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The scenery was amazing as the Tetons were on one side, with flat sagebrush plains on the other. Along the way, we spotted a Pronghorn antelope and an Elk bull leading his harem, at the National Elk Preserve.

When we arrived at Jackson Hole, we locked up the bikes and had fun being tourists- treating ourselves to a yummy breakfast, flights of beer at two different breweries and checking out the shops in between. We got back on our bikes and returned to Moose, putting in about 27 miles, total.

On the way back to camp we drove by beautiful Jenny Lake, checked out the visitor center, then located the boat dock at String Lake where we will be starting our kayaking trip, tomorrow. We have backcountry permits for a boat-in campsite, and will be staying at Leigh Lake tomorrow night. So much fun!Read more
