Moose Road into the Tetons

We took the back road from Wilson into Tetons Park – Jenny Lake area. It was a very nice drive through the lower mountain among the streams, pines, and ponds that define so much of the low lands.  

Reminders of idiots are all around us – in the graffiti cut into trees, and people insistent on racing done dirt roads at 50 mph. 

 

 

The Tetons!!

Always amazing. Always beautiful. Always towering above the valley. Mount Owen is in the background, I think. Let Owen know that he is loved and revered in this place as well. 

 

 

 

 

Jenny Lake

Impressive staircase. We walked around the lake and just relaxed, avoiding the crowds  as much as possible. 

How do you share these wonderful places without destroying them or turning them into little more than Kodak moment sites? 

 

 

 

 

Uhh?

I only give them dollar bills. What they do with the money is their business. 

 

 

Bears, Moose, Fox, Covid-19 OH MY!!!

I didn’t photograph the Covid warning signs. Or the instructions in the pit toilets on how to sit, not stand on the toilet seat. See yesterday’s comment on the utility of signs. 

We did see a moose on the drive to Teton Pass – it was protected by 2 Wildlife Management Officers with the yellow lights on their trucks flashing. I would have taken a picture of them, but there was not a place to safely park and I didn’t want to start a fuss.
