The Teton Range

When we went through this area on the big family trip in 1988, we were leaving a burning Yellowstone and trying to make time. So we didn't stop to explore the area. So this trip fulfills a desire to go back and get some closure on this area. I drove from Idaho Falls to Jackson along the Snake river into Jackson from the south. I went as far North as the Moran Jct and turned back South. At Moose, I switched to the road to Wilson and came over the Teton Pass to Idaho. Then I went up the Western side of the mountains before returning to Idaho Falls. Enjoy!

Snake River Overlook. The wind was blowing over these trees and it smelled like pine trees - Christmas time.
