    Spent Wednesday evening & all day Thursday at the Tetons. This was my favorite so far, although I could do without the below freezing all night & morning and then shedding layers back down to a tank top & shorts by the afternoon! We went to a late night talk last night. This morning we got up early to wander around, and saw some bison, elk, antelope, chipmonks, & ground squirrels. We went on a 4 mile guided hike, then had lunch by Swan Lake. This evening we are planning to head back to a spot where we saw several dams this morning to watch some beavers. Then we're going to a nighttime astronomy talk. We'll hit Yellowstone tomorrow!

    Update: We saw 3 beavers at the dams and some bears & moose on the way to the astronomy talk.
