Tetons Weekend

Trish and I just spent a wonderful Labor Day weekend in the Grand Tetons National Park camping at Colter Bay on Jackson Lake.

The first sighting of the Teton Range with Mount Moran and Grand Teton dominating the scenery always blows you away.  It is so very perfect it looks like a painting and it is so hard to realize that you are looking at magnificent reality.  We simply looked and looked trying to see it in many different angles of light and from many different viewing places.

Our first view of the Tetons.

We took a wonderful raft trip on the Snake River ten miles down from the Park toward Jackson.  This is a trip that we would recommend to anyone.  Being on the river with nothing between us and nature was timeless.

Snake River Guide.

We saw a coyote, thirteen bald eagles, and a moose on the trip, as well as many beaver trees and houses and a variety of ducks and geese.

The moose paid no attention to us.

Dear friends, Ted and Linda Parkhurst met us there for dinner.  It was sheer chance that we ended up near the same place at the same time and our visit was very dear.

When the weekend ended we left the Tetons and headed south to Lehi, Utah to get ready for the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival.

In case you are worrying about our Ocracoke home during Hurricane Dorian, we are all closed up there and hope that the storm will skirt the island up through the Atlantic.  We have good neighbors looking out for us.  Stay tuned!
