Tetons to Jackson Hole

 At Colter Bay in the Tetons, we stayed in one of a group of little cabins that were built in 1922.  Of course they have been upgraded, but the original charm is still there.  It is said that John D. Rockefeller stayed in one of these cabins when he fell in love with the Tetons and afterward began to buy the land which he donated to create the National Park here.


We had a pair of little mule deer who stayed around our cabin the whole time we were here.  They had no fear and were charming companions, making a last visit as we left.


Back up in Yellowstone, we were disappointed that the great herd of bison usually seen there had moved north and we missed them.  On our way to Jackson Hole, however, we met the Teton herd right in the process of grazing alongside our highway.  What a beautiful scene with the huge animals grazing with the mountains in their background.


Finally we stopped by the roadside for our last look at the Grand Tetons, just emerging from the mist with their reflection in the water.  This is such a restful place and we never tire of coming here.
