A week in the Tetons

We've added the Tetons to our must "come back and spend time" list.  The Tetons are so dramatic when first viewed as you leave Yellowstone. The craggy mountains appear to rise out of the Teton Valley.

We chose Gros Ventre Campground as it is centrally located in this wondrous area.  We did arrive early in the morning so we would be sure to get a campsite.  GV is a large 300 site campground in the Teton Valley featuring Moose!  Everyday Moose were sighted...not just along the river where the
willows grow, but at the campgrounds amphitheater where they were showcased.

On our arrival we met again with the Zamostnys where we planned hikes into the Tetons.  We also met Dan's brother and his wife, and enjoyed sharing many of our adventures, including our first Teton hike, Taggart Lake.

On another day,  Ruthie headed out with Gail and Dan on the Cascade Canyon Trail following a short boat ride across Jenny Lake.  A beautiful day!

Morey stayed back at the campground as he needed a little R&R after his wisdom tooth was pulled,




On a rainy day, Morey & Ruthie, squeezed in a two hour bike ride between the rain drops, to Moose and the Visitor Center.   We wonder if the bike riders we passed on the well aintained paved trail knew we were riding E-bikes as us old guys passed the youngsters on the up hills!

Today we completed an 8 mile hike to Death Canyon which included over 1,600 feet in up hill hiking.  How magnificent, Phelps Lake, waterfalls, granite cliffs, and all of the foliage!  We're getting in shape for our upcoming 3 day backpack trip.
