Yellowstone NP, Day 7, Grand Teton NP

Each time we visit Yellowstone, we make the trip down through the Grand Teton NP and back. Mostly we love the majesty of the Teton Range as seen across Jackson Lake, but we like visiting the various Lodges in the Park, especially the Jackson Lake Lodge and the Jenny Lake lodge.

Another reason for making the trip is that MMG is usually able to find Moose to photograph more easily than in the YNP.

And, not ot be ignored, there is a Coldwater Creek Outlet in Jackson, WY, just south of the GTNP (and a Häagen-Dazs® shop only a block away!)

Today did not turn out as we expected. Here are pictures of the only wildlife we saw all day:

Coyote

Yellow Headed Blackbird

Sandhill Crane and a ubiquitous Canada Goose

But then here is what we really came to see:

The Tetons loom over everything ---- even the parking lots.


Mt. Moran

So, no Moose, no Grizzlies, no Bears of any kind, nothing fit at Coldwater Creek, and the Haagen-Dazs® place had no mint chip ice cream so they couldn't make our favorite Mint Chip Dazzler.

But those diappointments paled when we drove along getting one last look at the Tetons in the setting sun.

More tomorrow!
