Movin' West - Day 16

Movin’ West – Day 16

(Picture)

Wednesday, 7AM – our trip through Grand Teton National Park to Jackson, WY, begins. The temperature is a bone-chilling 28 degrees this morning, but we are dressed for the warm weather which will move in later this morning, as it always does. As we entered the Park, we began to see sights and scenery which we have not seen in Yellowstone, namely, mountains so close we could almost touch them. The Tetons are enormous!

We arrived in Jackson around 10:00AM (about 3 hours) and stopped in at the Visitors’ Center to get some information about the National Park and the town of Jackson, along with maps of both. Next, we took a leisurely drive through the town and found a supermarket, where we stopped to pick up some much-needed groceries, because there’s not much in Yellowstone. We also needed to get some dog shampoo to give the dogs a bath. They have gotten sooo dirty here at Yellowstone because of the dirt. Lunch was at a little café called Joe’s, just up the street from the supermarket – great sandwiches, scones and coffee.

After a few pictures at the town square (see album), we got back in the car to make the return trip to Yellowstone. This time, however, we took another route through the Tetons. We detoured off of the main road (RT 89) onto the road to Jenny Lake, which is the scenic route. We took lots of great pictures on this route.

Finally arrived back at our campground about 4:15PM, exhausted, but happy we took this trip. After dinner, it’s bath time for the doggies. Tomorrow, we leave Yellowstone and head north into Montana, destination Glacier National Park.

Stay tuned for details of tomorrow’s adventure!
