Teton photo montage delight

Welcome to the Tetons, we were greeted by splendid and magnificent views all around.  It was hard to pay attention to the road, the sights were so grand. 

Sunset from our lake. we set up our hammock and yoga mat and relaxed by the lake to watch the sun drop between the mountains.  



Towards the beginning of our 7 mile hike, the aspens are still glorious, and the mountain is getting closer. 

At Inspiration Point, we relaxed and posed, spending some time taking in the silence and the scenery. 




The canopy of pines framed this shot of aspens lining the path to the distant hills. 

We have been eating so well, lots of lentils, quinoa, curry, biscuits, this fire roasted dish of diced potatoes and onions, seasoned with curry, salt, pepper and butter was so warming and tasty.  We will definitely be reprising it once we have a home kitchen!

I'm trying to document each camp site- here you see the expert shelter that Nick fashioned, just beyond the frame is our hidden picnic table and fire pit .  Also visible is the BEAR BOX.  We stored all of our food and cooking items in the bear proof box, we weren't interested in the Subaru getting claw marks. 

The clouds lay low in the Tetons today.  You can see an Ice Age Glacier near the top of Mount Moran.  It's so amazing to see millions of years old rock and ice formations, it feels like we are a part of the circle of life.

We have been witness to such amazing sights and sounds.  Next, I am going to dedicate an entire entry to the animal life we've seen, as they definitely deserve they're own page. (Heads up Peggy- WE SAW MOOSE, and I'll write all about it soon) Right now, we are headed to Missoula, MT, the Subaru got her oil changed, and we are refueled.  Thanks for reading dear friends!
