Grand Teton's
We arrived at Flagg Ranch within the Grand Teton's park and decided - we have to go horseback riding in the heat. So - we threw ourselves on our ponies and had our own personal trail ride with Puritt (a cowboy from Kentucky who then lived in Virginia before taking on a job in Wyoming). It was hot and the flies were bad - but was fun.
Afterwards, we traveled a few miles away to scope out a campsite along the Snake River. Right on the river side - quiet with no one around. But it was hot! So after taking a siesta - we went for a bike ride along the river side road. Our goal - Grass Pond. Supposedly, only a 10 mile ride in which 8 campsites were positioned along the Snake River. We were located at site 2 - so we figured the pond was maybe around 7 miles away. Unfortuantely, it was 7 miles uphill on a gravel road - oh, if I didn't mention -- in the heat. We didn't make our goal and I think a good thing. When we arrived back at our campsite - the sun was setting and the mosquitoes were out. I stood at the camper door and the screen was literally covered with mosquitoes. Buzzing, threatening looking nasty little creatures. However, Jeremy was brave enough to grab a few photos of a large elk herd. Came down to the river for a drink, some play among themselves, and of course - to make some weird sounds.
Our next day, we set out into the park. Of course, we took pictures of the Tetons. As tourists - we felt obligated to do so.
At the southern entrance of the park - before our departure, we stopped at the Moose Junction for lunch. Sipping some Moose Drool with an excellent backdrop - quite a pleasing experience.
