Tetons!

5/31/21 – Memorial Day in the National Park! Not too crowded in the Tetons and a tremendously beautiful day to tour the park. We drove up to Signal Mountain and got a view of the vast meadows below spotted with elk and pronghorn (look like antelope but they call them pronghorn in these parts). So pretty with yellow and purple flowers spotting the hillside by the observation overlook.

We then went off the main road onto the “scenic Jenny Lake drive”…

Along the drive, Paul swore that he saw a moose by the road but it was around a curve and just caught a glimpse. It was close to the pullover by Jenny Lake so we parked and walked to see the moose… well, Paul hoofed it over a mile while Kim, Danni and I strolled along the bike path. We knew it wasn’t as far as Paul was going and eventually we 3 went back to the lake to wait for Paul. When he returned, he said he couldn’t find the moose and even walked back off the road (not advisable) and found “moose scat” but no moose.

We did, however, see a grizzly bear and 3 cubs playing in the distant field when we went on our dusk wildlife hunt. We also saw a small herd of elk. No moose, though, it was not for the lack of looking!

We took our time getting back to the campground and caught the sunset…again, no words to adequately describe the beauty.

Good Night all
