Out and about in the Grand Tetons

It turns out that we can't take Emily and Bailey anywhere with us in the park. They would just act as bear bait. Bears are aggressive and hungry at this time of year trying to build up fat for their long winter nap.

This morning we are going directly over to Jenny Lake early. We took the shuttle boat across the lake to the hiking trails on the other side. We wanted to hike up to Hidden Falls. The water was just a powerful tumbling rush over the strewn boulders. The falls lived up to their name - even close up you could barely see them through the trees and brush.

Once back across the lake, we drove around looking at some unusual formations and never getting enough of looking at the mountains.

The next day we drove down to the southern end of the park at Moose Junction. The southern portion of the Teton range is just as beautiful as the three famous Tetons. We then drove north around the boundary of the park and checked out every nook and cranny of this area. Here we were close to the Snake River. This is the area where the early pioneers located and the infamous Jackson Hole.
