Grand Tetons




Gary loved the Grand Teton drive yesterday. We saw everything they told us we would, except a bear and moose. A bison put on a great show for us, jumping over a short fence to join a herd of horses, then turning around to stare at all the people taking photographs. Gary wondered why he wasn't with a herd and I told him it was because it was this bison's turn to pose for the cameras. We also saw a bull elk (in photo) with a lot of females with him (can't see them in the photo). Another photographer told us this elk had killed another elk down the road a few feet and a bear had been feeding off the downed elk. But we didn't stop to see the dead elk and the bear wasn't there at the time we drove by.


The scenery was beautiful--our timing was perfect for the changing colors, but our photos don't do them justice.




Elsie had trouble helping Gary drive, but she did her best from the back of the CR-V.

Second attempt at comment.
Ron said he loved the Tetons, too.
But we hadn't seen them in the fall---Wow!
Elsie is a big hit on your blog!
She must be exhausted after all that work (helping drive, ha!)
Rain forecast finally for Sac on Sat.
