Grand Teton

Grand Teton is one of the most amazing places we have ever seen. The snow capped mountains rise majestically out of the cool waters of Jackson Lake as well as Jenny Lake. We rented a canoe the first day and took to the lake. It was a surreal image heading towards the mountain base and feeling so small as the mountain seems to drift nearer on the glassy water. Later, the wind began to howl out of the valley causing the waters to churn. It made the return voyage become a strenuous task.

The following day we bought passage across Jenny lake on a small motor craft to the base of a trail head. There we could see a Bald Eagle perched high on a tree. We followed the trail about four miles deep into the range. The views from up there were truly inspiring. While high in the mountain, we encountered no wildlife, however we did get hammered by a vicious thunderstorm, complete with large size hail. It was cold, wet, and memorable. We are having an awesome time!!!!
