After we pack up from OFI - we headed south to the Grand Teton National Park.
One of the first things you pass when entering GTNP is Jackson Lake. The Tetons are still miles away, but are still huge. The Grand Teton - the largest mountain, is about 13,700 ft about sea level.
We had a little time to kill so we drove into Jackson,Wyoming. It's a great town - very touristy - make sure you bring your wallet too.
There is a part in the middle of town that has two elk antler arches.
Zoe and Ian met a friend, and they pondered about theories of relativity and quantum mechanics.
...and then they showed some real intelligence.
After an afternoon in Jackson, we drove back to Jackson Lake where we checked in to teh Jackson Lake Lodge
The Lodge overlooks Jackson Lake and the Tetons. It's been around since the 1950's and is a bit more modern than there OFI. The views off the back terrance aren't bad either.
The rooms are a series of little motel-like rooms. The whole place function as one big resort with horse stables, a pool, several restaurants, a store, and walking trails.
We hiked up to a little point that has a tribute to John D. Rockefeller. He was instrumental in the formation of the GTNP.
