Spectacular Grand Tetons!!

Today we left Thermopolis and drove via Riverton and DuBois to Grand Teton National Park. As Peggy said most of the drive was purdy all around, but then it became spectacular. This is my first trip to the Grand Tetons and I was not disapointed. The mountains are snow covered. The lakes are ice covered. The trails are closed and the roads are open.

Peggy and I stopped at the visitor center and decided to ride our bikes up the valley. We road 25 miles up the road (starting at 6460 ft elevation) to the scenic loop at Jenny Lake. The wind wasn't too bad, the sun was out, and it was a spectacular view. My photos won't do it justice.

Our bikes got to meet snow for the first time. It is supposed to be in the 20's tonight. We head up to Yellowstone tomorrow after spending some time in Jackson. After a week in Thermopolis it seems like a big city.
