The Grand Teton in the middle.
Greeting us in the Gros Ventre (Gro Vant) campground was the big bull moose who wasn't disturbed by people at all.
The signature of Jackson Hole are these huge arches built of thousands of elk antlers.
In the old Wort Hotel is the Silver Dollar Bar with literally thousands of silver dollars on the bar top.
Laurance Rockefeller donated thousands of acres to be included in the NP. On a beautiful day several of the WINs hiked within the Rockefeller Preserve to Phelps Lake.
Me on the shore of Phelps Lake.
This is the WIN group that hiked to Phelps Lake.
The campground was home to several moose. This cow was interested in a young bull who was approaching.
Here is the young bull as he's coming up to the cow. Then a car drove right behind the cow and scared her off so we never saw what would have happened.
This is the Moulton Barn, one the most photographed barns in the country. It is along Mormon Row which used to be a settlement of 30 some Mormon families.
We took an evening driving tour with a Ranger. Saw this bison herd up close and personal.
This little late born baby may have a tough time if it's a bad winter. Most babies are born in May and June--this little one not until Sept.
Another day we took the boat ride across Jenny Lake for a hike up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point.
It was a beautiful hike along the stream. Just a half mile but lots of rocks and elevation gain of 300 feet.
I made it to Hidden Falls but didn't go to Inspiration Point. I was inspired enough that I made it this far.
When we woke on Wednesday morning to snow covered peaks we moved south a bit to LaGrange, WY. Very barren there but it was right on the river and several of the group kayaked.
Now several of us are spending the night at WalMart in Rock Springs, WY. This is the first I've had good internet in order to post the blog. Tomorrow we go down to Dutch John, Utah and will camp at Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
