The magnificent views of the Tetons would leave anyone speechless, or so we have heard. Four straight days of rain, snow, and cloud cover pretty much ruined our plans for Grand Teton National Park. Since we’re never ones to let the weather ruin our day, we came up with plan B: to spend some relaxing time wining and dining in the ski-resort community of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Delicious food, cold microbrews, rooftop hot tubs, television, and WiFi helped make up for not being able to see the majestic mountain tops.
The best pictures we could get of the mountains
We spent the first two nights in the campground on the shores of Lake Jackson despite 5 feet of snow surrounding us. Luckily, our campsite had electric hookups so the heater kept us nice and toasty all night long. On our third night, we moved to the swanky town of Teton Village at the base of the Jackson Hole Ski Resort. We enjoyed the hot tubs and delicious cuisine at Teton Mountain Lodge. We were able to score some good deals since ski season is over and the summer tourists have not yet flocked to the park. On our last night, we moved again to the Rustic Inn in the town of Jackson. We drank some cold beer at the Snake River Brewery while watching a heavy snow fall outside and then did some shopping around town.
We made several trips into the National Park to see what wildlife we could find. We spotted several moose, bison, and elk and also got to see coyotes hunting for ground squirrels by pouncing on top of the snow.
Today we continue our journey south. We are headed toward Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. We’ll be there for three days before continuing onto Zion National Park.
