I drove to Teton National Park today. I left early in the
morning so I could make it there and back in a reasonable amount of time. It
was an easy drive and most of the way, I could see the back side of the Tetons.
The sun was just coming up, so the view is like my bleery eyes were
able to see it.
I drove through the town of Jackson and got a picture of the
antler gates. Typical small touristy town. Lots of souvenir shops and eatin’
places.
Teton National Park’s main road was closed to motorized
traffic. Bikers and hikers were allowed, but that’s it until May 1. So, I didn’t
get very far in the park.
I drove the main highway up to Oxbow Lookout (near Moran). I
remember this view from 1978 when a group of us from Yellowstone drove here to
climb Grand Teton. A thunderstorm and snow shortened that trip.
I drove back down the highway towards Jackson. At the Snake
River Overlook, I took another picture. The scenery was gorgeous and I saw
several elk near the road nearby.
I took lots of pictures of the Tetons, but this is the one I
like the best.
I’m trying to decide if I want to come this way when I go
back to California. That decision will have to wait until September.
