Mountains that are shaped like… er, uh…a woman’s generous protrusions. Interestingly, the Grand Tetons have no foothills. They were created by a sudden violent tectonic plate squeeze that forced them up and the land in Jackson Hole to drop down (that’s why it’s called Jackson Hole). The broad green plain of Jackson Hole, and the sharp, craggy wall of the Tetons right at its edge is spectacular. Glaciers later did their work to carve the shape of the mountains.
We visited Jenny Lake. A beautiful and popular spot.
And visited a historical homestead on the snake river.
We learned that the plants and wildflowers here adapted to live in harsh conditions, but can be wiped out by a footprint.
We drove up Signal Mountain and saw many wonderful views from there. It’s funny how anything in a sealed container swells at high altitudes like chip bags or water bottles.

And drove along the Snake River in the valley of those giant majestic mountains. This U in the Snake River called the “Oxbow Bend”, and the subject of one of my favorite Ansel Adams black and white photos.
Angie was the good will ambassador to some visitors from Denmark. They said that they have Golden Retrievers over there that are a lighter, creamier color.
