The Scariest Beast in the National Park System...

Saturday we woke up early and drove south to Grand Teton National Park. They were having a grand opening of a new visitor center that we wanted to attend and we wanted to see what made the Tetons different fromYellowstone when they are so close together. We also were hoping to see more wildlife especially moose as they are listed as abundant in the Teton park.



While these parks have some similiarities... lodgepole pines, meadows of scrub brush... they are also remarkably different. The majestic Teton mountain range are the backdrop of this park.. they truly live up "purple mountains majesty". Also, GTNP has some magnificent lakes especially Jenny Lake and Jackson Lake. The kids spent nearly an hour skipping rocks and having fun just wading in Jenny Lake. However, we didn't see any wildlife other than birds, squirrels and chipmunks.




Where were all the animals?

Quite simply we think they were frightened into hiding for the day... you see, that day the fiercest most terrifying beast to these animals showed up at GTNP... we were able to get a picture of...
