It took some convincing but I finally was able to get Tim to agree that we should venture south to see the south entrance to Yellowstone and check out the Teton National Park.
 |
| Our first view of the Tetons |
 |
| this place is famous, but we avoided it... instead opting for lunch at Bubba's BBQ |
Gas was 15 cents a gallon cheaper in Jackson, so we gassed up before heading to Teton Village / Jackson Hole. The price worked out to about 98 cents a litre. Cheap like borscht!
 |
| Jackson Hole is the name of the ski hill, Jackson is the city a few miles away. |
 |
| of course we HAD to take the tram up the mountain. |
 |
| here we go! |
 |
| this lift is 2.4 miles long |
 |
| a big ol' cliff on our way up |
 |
| What is that white stuff??? |
 |
| view from the tram deck |
 |
| View from the top of Rendezvous Mountain. |
 |
| Looking down on Teton Village and in the distance by the hill is Jackson, WY |
 |
| more mountains around us. |
 |
| Tim on top!! |
When we were up on Rendezvous, some storm clouds rolled in so we tried to descend before the storm fully blew in. Then we hopped in our truck and decided to try the Moose-Wilson Road, which is barely 2 vehicles wide and 2 miles of 9 are pretty rough hardtop with gravel interspersed. It was interesting anyhow, we were glad for the 4x4, although we did not have to employ it. We continued our journey by taking the less travelled road to the west via Jenny Lake. It was very scenic!
 |
| This storm blew in and followed us north towards Yellowstone |
 |
| here comes the rain! |
It was a long day of driving and I was very tired at the end so thankful for leftover cold pizza for supper! We then took it easy for the rest of the evening, reading a bit then hitting the hay. No energy to blog until the following day!!
