You drive along and suddenly, there they are! This magnificent upheaval of granite just abruptly rises out of the prairie floor. There are no foothills. They tower over the flat sagebrush and beautiful lakes.
In order to get up close and personal, we chose a hike along Jenny Lake. We weren't the only ones and at times it was like a busy sidewalk. We climbed gradually alongside the lake ....
In awhile, we came to Hidden Falls, a noisy tumbling scenic wilderness. It was nice and cool up there. After a total of 3+ miles, we came to the lakeshore and hitched a ride back to our start aboard a popular shuttle boat. We had plans to try another 3-4 mi outing today but it is raining......and chilly. Not at all bad tho as we have two long days ahead of us and we are enjoying the sound of rain on the rooftop. Currently, we are at the Jackson Lake Lodge grabbing up all their free WIFI. The lodge has huge windows that frame the evening view of the mountainous spires but the clouds and rain have kept them hidden.
Missed "Heading North" yesterday...what a beautiful bike!
ReplyDeleteAnd OMG, we have never visited the Grand Teton NP... a little piece of heaven I must add to the list. What beautiful eye candy!
Enjoy!
Dang it! "beautiful hike" is what I meant to say....sorry about that!
DeleteWhat beautiful photos, from my favorite senior parking duo!
ReplyDeleteWe are well. Lillie into her second week of preschool, lined up all her dolls/stuffed animals at "Ma's" yesterday and taught them their numbers/ABC's, etc., then put them down for a nap! Nina is our Ninja - like a race horse out of the gate when she starts crawling. Fondly, Jan
Aw nuts, I clicked the "sign out" button instead of "Publish." I'm sure what I said was brilliant but I can't remember. Your photos (and the Grand Tetons) are incredible. Well done!
