Grand Teton National Park

Posted by: Isabel in 2008 USA Road Trip, tags: , , ,

Today was mostly a rest day, but we did go into Grand Teton National Park!

So pretty!!

And check this out:

See him?!

We finally saw a moose. We had totally given up, but we got lucky today!

In fact, we got doubly lucky because this guy had a lady friend!

It was very exciting. Once we bagged our moose, we decided our mission was complete and left the park.

On our way back into Jackson, we stopped for a second at the town square where they have these awesome elk antler arches. You see, elks shed their antlers and regrow them every year. There’s a big elk refuge outside of Jackson, and every year the local Boy Scouts go in and collect the antlers and auction them off. Hooray!

Good times. Now we’re back in our Motel 6 with laundry in the dryer. We move on tomorrow!

    When you guys are both in pictures, are you super suave with a tripod? Or charm unsuspecting locals into taking the shot?

    Well, it depends. For the picture here with the mountains and the lake and everything, we didn’t bring the tripod down with us, but there was a tall boulder there that we put the camera on; for the one with the elk antler arches, we got some other tourist couple to take our picture after we took theirs. We often do bring the tripod though, and then I have to set up the self-timer and run around to be in the picture. Haha. :)
