GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

A pit stop in the mountains on our way to Jackson Hole, WY.

We left Casper this morning with a destination of Jackson, Wyoming. The name of the town is actually Jackson but it's commonly known as Jackson Hole because it seems to be down in a hole surrounded by a range of gigantic mountains. We passed through Grand Teton National Park on our way to Jackson.

We spotted some bison beside the highway outside Jackson.

They look slow but a bull will run after you at 30 MPH if you get too close

The grass must be good. They don't even notice us.

I'm not so sure that fence would stop these beasts if they get angry

The Snake River

This is the same Snake River that flows through Idaho Falls

The Grand Teton Mountains

The elevation here is 6,237 feet so how high are those mountain tops?

Grand Teton, the highest mountain in the range has a peak elevation of 13,775 feet
