Our first look at the Tetons
from the north end of Jackson Lake
When we set up camp at Signal Mountain
there was a fire in the area creating an afternoon sunset
Down by the lake it was getting dark
A fantastic evening silhouette
and then a wonderful sunset
It was time for bed as we had an early morning ahead of us
Canadian Geese next to Mount Moran at daybreak
Oxbow Bend on the Snake River
It was cold in the early morning shade
Mount Moran is on the right
Cattleman's Bridge Area in the sunshine
A wonderful spot to have pancakes for breakfast
The Grand Tetons
An old scenic barn on Mormon Row
Jenny Lake
A view of the Tetons from amongst the sagebrush
Jackson Lake Resort
Sundown on the deck over looking Willow Flats
And The Grand Tetons in the distance
And The Grand Tetons in the distance
We were up early the next morning heading south
Spectacular Sunrise on the Tetons complete with a Rainbow
Heading south we spotted another cow moose
When was I ever going to see a Big Bull with antlers
Visitor Centre at Moose Junction
It was a fantastic virtual tour of the whole park
and I got to see a Big Bull Moose...kinda
Elk Arch in Jackson Hole
Boy Scouts raise money from these naturally discarded horns
On our way east to the Sawtooth Mountains
These ranch lands required oversized tractors
low water level in this huge reservoir makes for a neat design
more wonderful fall colours
an osprey nest with mom and a little one
Downtown Idaho Falls
A long flat windy stretch...did I mention windy
The gusts were so strong I had to add rope to the
existing straps to secure the kayaks on top of the camper
At the end of the flatlands...thank god
Craters of the Moon Park
Tons of black lava rock
then back into lush farmland
The Sawtooth Mountains were in the distance
with only one more valley to cross
Finally the Sawtooth Range from Little Redfish Lake
Redfish Lake Lodge
Parts of the lake were quiet while others were busy
we chose a quiet walk beside this old snake fence to the lake
now thats a great fire pit for everyone
RedFish Lake
Winding road going into Stanley Lake
It was a gorgeous lake with the mountains right above us
A classy sign at the start of a wonderful walk
we followed a beautiful little creek
there were several spots to dip our feet in the cold water
Rudy had a riot running everywhere
It was hard to keep him still for this picture
Arlene got some great shots
It would be nice to come back to Stanley Lake
and spend more time exploring this area
It was time to head for the coast and
say goodbye to the Sawtooth area in Idaho
On to the Redwoods and the Coast
