Wednesday, August 5, 2015 Ride into Grand Tetons National Park
Well we left pretty early this morning in hopes of seeing
some different wildlife like MOOSE! We
took the shortest road to get where they said it was possible to see them. Guess what?
The road was Closed! Go figure so
we had to go back the same way and take another route. We did the 42 mile loop, went to Jenny
Lake and all the way up to Colter Bay Village which is about 2/3’s of the
way through the park. The only things
that we saw were a chipmunk, squirrel and a red tail hawk. We saw nothing more. We were so disappointed on the wildlife front
but not the views of the Grand Teton mountain range. We saw more glaciers than we did at Glacier
National Park. The highest point was
over 13,000 feet high.
We traveled 255 miles today and we were gone for 10 hours a
very long day. Tomorrow is going to be a
short day with just a 2 mile hike to a cold water geyser.
