The Mighty Grand Tetons

 
Each weekend, we try to get away to see the amazing places that surround Yellowstone. After four weeks in Yellowstone, we finally made our way south into Grand Teton National Park. We set out after dinner on Thursday (our last work day of the week) for a late evening drive south out of the park to our neighbor-park, the Tetons.  We had a wonderful drive at dusk on the Moose-Wilson Road to our sleeping destination in Teton Village, where we slept in the van and then got up and out early for a boat ride across Jenny Lake and a gorgeous hike that yielded stunning mountain views, roaring streams and a serene lakeside. Oh, and did I forget to mention moose and a close encounter with a black bear? Here are some photos from the weekend.
