Jackson Wyoming August 13-20

The drive took a while due to miles of construction, but the sight of the Grand Tetons in the distance was majestic.


The KOA campsite in Jackson was crowded—Ray did an exceptional job fitting the trailer in a limited space. We stayed for two days.


We moved downtown to the Virginian RV campground for the rest of our stay.


Our first foray into the Grand Teton National Park brought us to Jenny Lake. While hiking toward Inspiration Point, I snapped pictures of Hidden Falls and vistas from the trail. Very pretty.




We visited local bars and museums (below is a picture taken outside the National Museum of Wildlife Art), but our next major outing was a one hour trail ride at Teton Village.




On the way back we saw a moose in the wild and stopped on the side of the road to take a picture.


(Actually we saw lots of wildlife at Jackson during our stay. See below)






Later that afternoon we watched rafts navigate white water on the Snake River. This is the Snake River at a calm spot.


We returned to Grand Teton National Park to drive up Signal Mountain and stop at Jackson Lodge for lunch.

Dinner on our last night was at the Gun Barrel where we feasted on Bison Carpaccio, Venison Sausage and fried green tomatoes. Yum.
