Grand Teton National Park - Continued

Grand Teton National Park

Riding the Grand Teton National Park is an adventure that I won't soon forget. We woke up at our new campsite and got us a little breakfast before venturing out to explore. We met our new neighbors, which was really cool. My brother-in-law and riding partner is from Mississippi, and I from Tennessee. Our neighbors, as it turns out were from the south as well. Wow, what a small world!.

We rode out of our campgrounds and headed south toward those amazing peaks. There was a really cool place to stop with information about the formation of the Grand Tetons - and some good picture taking opportunities. The river below was small, but very beautiful. We saw a raft floating down the river just far enough downstream that we couldn't tell how many people were taking a floating trip that day.

We arrived in Jackson Hole just around lunch time and stopped at a little restaurant for a bite to eat. The building across the street had one of the most interesting roofs on it that we had ever seen. The entire roof of that place was covered with grass!!! Yes, actual, real, growing grass!!. We laughed about that for a bit, wondering how they got the lawnmover up there to mow the roof.

After lunch, we rode around "the hole" for awhile, then headed back northward to the road that runs by Jenny Lake. The lake was crystal clear, sitting just beneath the rise of the Tetons themselves. Picturesque!!.

That evening, we found a nice Italian restaurant at the edge of a lake, the Tetons lust beyond it, reflection mirrored in the clear greenish, blue water. We were able to get a table on the wrap around deck, so we could eat our dinner while enjoying the fantastic view.

Tired, full, and our eyes full of the beauty of the day, we headed back to the campsite to start our campfire.

The next day, we planned to journey on toward Yellowstone National Park, but we had decided to take the long way.. more about that next time.
