Grand Teton National Park

On the way back, Caroline noticed that our route took us close by the Tetons.  We visited there 2 years ago and really enjoyed the Park (it is just below Yellowstone).  We  ended up spending 3 days there.  As you will notice in some of the photos that fall has come to the Tetons.  Made it even better.

The Teton Mountains.  The Grand Teton, the one in the middle, is the 2nd tallest mountain in Wyoming at 13,775.'

The northern part of the Tetons.

A meadow in front of the Tetons.  It may have been the middle of September, but the 'fall' foliage was is in full swing.

This fire was east of the park.  It was a controlled burn that became uncontrollable. It burned the 3 days we were in the park.

Mt. Moran - 12,605.'

String Lake. 

Another view from String Lake.

The water was chilly.

Jenny Lake.  It is the most popular of the lake in the park.  It is about 2 miles by 1 mile and 260' deep.

Another view of Jenny lake.

The Snake River meanders through the Park.

The Cunningham Cabin.  A good example of a homestead ranch built in Jackson Hole in the 1880's.

Hidden Falls.

A panoramic view of Jenny Lake from Inspiration Point - 7,200.'

Downtown Jackson.  They have these antler arches in all 4 corners of the main square.

An eagle swoops down to grab Caroline.  What a minute - it's only a statue.  If only...

More of downtown (and next 2 photos).

We saw 3 moose, but  this was the best photo.

Woodland pine drop. It is a root parasite and produces very little chlorophyll.  It was about 2' tall.

A close up.  I'm not sure what these pods are called, but they are about a 1/2" across.
