Grand Teton National Park

After we went to Yellowstone, we stopped by Grand Teton National Park. I went to college in eastern Idaho for a couple years and could see the Tetons off in the distance, but I never made it out to the park.



LMS really liked the moose statue outside one of the visitor's centers

She had to stop and make sure its hoof was ok

Little Junior Rangers, waiting for the Ranger's presentation to start. 
This was at the site of the first ferry over the river.

There's a bike path running along the highway from Jackson, WY to about halfway up the park. 
If we'd had time, it would have been a great bike ride!

This apparently is the most photographed barn in the valley- people like to get shots of it with the mountains behind. We were there in the late afternoon so the sun was not in the right spot for good photos, but these turned out ok.


LMS was able to add another pin to her Junior Ranger vest, and we had fun exploring and learning about the history of the Grand Teton area. I will say, though, our camp site was terrible. The roads were  very narrow and twisty, and the site itself was tiny- we have an 18' trailer (aka tiny) and it barely fit in the site. We had to unhook the truck and squeeze it in (with barely enough space to open doors on one side) next to the trailer because it was mostly definitely NOT a pull-through site. It was just a terrible set up. Don't think we'll stay there again- guess I should see if I can find the name of the campground so we can avoid it :)

Have you been to Grand Teton National Park?
