Summer Pictures, part 11: Grand Teton
(Same day as the final Yellowstone pictures.)
We drove out of Yellowstone towards the south, so we could go through Grand Teton National Park. We only stopped a couple of places, because (a) we needed to drive all the way back to Orem, and (b) it was kind of a cold and dreary day. But during the times we could see the Grand Tetons, they were impressive! This is at the northern end of the valley.
The lake you can see in the distance is Jackson Lake, the major lake of the valley.
There is a prominent hill in the middle of the valley that one can drive a car up. Signal Mountain, it's called. This is the view looking east from the hilltop, a panorama sticked together from two photos. (Click on the picture to get a lot more detail.)
Emily, looking down on the valley.
Here are the Tetons as seen from that hill.
Leslie found two friends there; a caterpillar, and a boy who liked the caterpillar almost as much as she did.
Our final stop was at the shores of Jenny Lake, a small lake on the southern end of the valley. (Click on the picture to get a lot more detail. And if you want to it in full resolution, use this hyperlink.)
(P.S. I hope some people enjoyed some of the pictures! That's all for summer 2009!)
