Beautiful historic downtown Pinedale with the Wind River range at the end of main street. Fremont Lake is just east of town. 9 miles long and 600 feet deep. Very blue. Above is the Wind River range.
We thought we were hiking to Photographers point 2.5 miles from the trail head, but after three miles and we didn't find it we walked back. Lovely walk through the trees on a pretty day. The fireweed leaves are red now. Maybe that is where their name came from.
Where but Wyoming would have a snowmobile and bike trail?? The bus at Gros Ventre Campground in Grand Tetons National Park. Nice big spot with trees and a picnic table. Behind the bus is the river. Last time we camped here we saw moose.
Our friend from the Death Valley area Toni is visiting in Jackson and she came to visit with us. Great to see her. The Grand Tetons seen on the way to camp.
The Gros Ventre River next to camp. We walked around looking for moose, didn't see any. A bee in a knapweed blossom, How to use this toilet from the visitors center in Jackson's ladies room, woolly bear caterpillar, and a rock seen in the river bed today.
Last night Jon and Kim Hindman cooked us a wonderful meal of elk steaks and green beans fresh from the garden. It was fun to see them again. Today we hiked to Taggart and Bradley Lakes in Grand Teton National park with my friend Cindy who I used to work on the Colorado trail with. The fall colors were lovely. It was fun to catch up with her.
Cindy and John on the trail with Tetons in front of them. Taggart Lake. It was a perfect blue bird day.
Suep, John and Cindy in front of Bradley Lake. A view over Taggart lake on the way back.
Fall colors along the trail.
Fall colors around Avalanche Creek. We could see Grand Teton above the creek and trees. The Tetons seen from historic Mormon row.
The more classic shot of the Tetons with the barn on historic Mormon row. We also stopped at the Gros Ventre Slide. On June 23, 1925 there was a huge rock slide here. Earth, rock and slide down the mountain and started up the other side. The river was dammed and Slide Lake was formed.
Bears rafting on top of a raft company's office, shapely aspens, white blossoms, asters blooming in a stream and we saw this air stream trailer merged with a Mercedes sprinter van.
