It was back out through the beautiful Wind River Gorge this morning. We headed west going up across a 9700 ft pass near Dubois where we got our first view of the Grand Tetons. What a presence on the horizon.

| First Sighting of the Grand Tetons |
We rolled down into the Grand Tetons NP and got ourselves situated in the Colter Bay Campground. They are repaving the roads all around so there is the pungent aroma of asphalt in the air instead of the pine that I expected. Oh well - progress. The winters are hard on the roads in the park.

| Quite a view from the campground |
I am going into withdrawal. There is no phone reception and no wifi anywhere around the campground. We drove down to a scenic overlook the next morning that was 9 miles away. Here I could download my email and make some phone calls. The view was magnificent.

| Hard to concentrate on anything but the view |
After that we drove down to Jenny Lake but it was so crowded that we couldn't even find a parking space. We just did a circuit of this end of the park. We did stop at Jackson Lake for a wonderful view of the mountains.
