EXPLORING GRAND TETONS

Okay, now we are officially on vacation!  We went exploring all over the park today. Kathe and I have been walking all around the camp ground.  Although the weather isn't great, it's been in the 50's all day and overcast. There's very little wind and the rain showers are brief.  Not exactly great  weather for hiking.  This crowd is hoping for a little sunshine tomorrow. They are not letting the weather spoil their fun.

Today the humans drove a big loop all around the park. They drove up to the top of Signal Mountain, for some great views of Jackson Lake.  Then they took the Jenny Lake scenic drive, stopping along the way for pictures.  There wasn't much wildlife to be seen.  I think even the animals are taking shelter waiting for a sunny day.  They saw several pronghorn, a moose and some white pelicans. There were thousands of tourists and lots of tour buses everywhere.  It's summer you know!

There are warnings everywhere about the danger of bears. Luckily we haven't seen any of them but Jim bought the bear spray just in case!  The scariest thing I've seen today was a raven that was bigger than me.
