Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

On the drive from Victor, Idaho to the Grand Tetons we travel through Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Down main street we see a great antler arch at the entrance to the city park.




Few landscapes in the world are as striking and memorable as that of the Grand Teton National Park.

Rising abruptly from the valley floor, the Tetons offer a testament to the power and complexity of nature.

The mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers and skies are home to diverse and abundant plants and animals.

This spectacular mountain range and the desire to protect it resulted in the establishment of Grand Teton National Park in 1929.

The above picture of this huge buffalo and the picture below of the cute little 'baby' was taken while driving on the Antelope Flats Road within the park. Don't miss this drive if you ever go, as it is probably the only place you'll see any buffalo!

Geologic forces still shape this youthful landscape. With no foothills to obstruct your view, the jagged peaks and deep canyons of the Teton Range rise abruptly from the Jackson Hole valley. Magnificent and unusual views provide wonder.

The landscape was born out of an ancient past and shaped by recent geologic forces. The 2.7 billion year old rocks found in the core of the range are some of the oldest in North America, but these mountains rank among the youngest in the world.

The picture below is of the Jenny lake area where we did a hike around the lake. We saw people canoeing and kayaking all around the lake.

The picture below was taken on another hike that we did. The scenery was beautiful and this park is definitely one of the most wonderful trips we have made so far!

See ya down the road !
