The Grand Tetons
We spent a few days in the Grand Tetons this week - around Jackson Hole and north. It was fascinating. The Rockies are my favorite mountains in the world - spread out, accessible, and majestic. I love the Colorado Rockies north and south of Denver, my wife loves the Canadian Rockies - particularly around Jasper, and Banff. This was our first time in the Grand Tetons. There is a lot more water than I had expected - lakes and low gradient, winding rivers, and on this trip in August, the weather was absolutely spectacular. The photograph above is just off where the Snake River leaves Lake Jackson.
