Grand Teton

Wednesday 1st Sept.

The weather had deteriorated so it was a good day to travel. The journey from Yellowstone to Grand Teton was spectacular. The scenery changed and the mountains became the focus of attention.

The strange thing was that we saw nearly as much wildlife on the journey than we had seen in the previous 6 days. We had a very close view of a black bear and her cub which were feeding at the side of the road. (the ranger did not mind us getting out of the car to take photos). We also saw our first Moose.



We camped in the south of the park  but were unlucky to get a couple of 'druggies' as neighbours, who played music until 4 am. We decided to move on the following morning.



What a difference a day makes. It was hot and sunny, so we decided to walk one of the trails in bear country. We saw plenty of signs but made enough noise to avoid any confrontations. This turned out to be a great day for seeing wildlife, we also found a bar with one of the best views in the world.



We eventually moved out of the park to Jackson.
