Through the Tetons

 Trish and I love the Grand Tetons! We try to come here every year.

This year our visit was cool and wet and somewhat subdued…it was restful anyway.


We got one pretty good day when the mountains were visible, then the clouds took over. Even then the sky was beautiful!


This is the land of the elk.  Now it is rutting season. We could see a large female across the meadow on the lookout for mating.  None of them  are close up right now.


Evidence of the elk population is everywhere. In downtown Jackson the city park has these huge elk antler gateways on each of its four corners.


Just down the road, in the small town of Afton, elk antlers bridge their entire Main Street.


We will come back here next year and be looking for more animals and better weather!
