We left magnificent Yellowstone NP and drove through the smokey remnants of the forest fires still burning out here. Camped for two nights at Signal Mountain where we squeezed into a campsite. The sign wasn't fooling that the limit was 30 feet, and BIW just makes it at 30 ft, (11"). Our site was overlooking Jackson Lake and the awesome Grand Tetons. What can be better than looking out your windows and seeing the mountains in all of their glory!
Also enjoyed our two great dinners at the Signal Mountain Lodge including Lake Trout Cakes (better than NJ Crab Cakes?!), and just a short walk from our campsite. Great local brews too.
We woke up the first morning at Signal Mountain to a light rain, and the mountains magically appeared as the smoke was washed away. What a sight! The following day we hiked 6 miles and biked 15 miles to Moose (a town - note post office, population around 200). All around Jackson WY, they have constructed over 40 miles of paved bike trails; what can be better than biking with the mountains on your left and a valley filled with animals on the right?!
Oh, and I almost forgot....Ruthie saw her
Moose! We camped the third night at Gros Ventre, a Grand Teton NP campground. Morey asked the Ranger at check-in, where the moose might be hanging out. He suggested a walk to the river because they like the willows growing along the banks. Morey spotted the Moose and had him smile for the camera.
