We headed off for Grand Teton National Park. Yellowstone and Teton kind of segue into one another. At some point there was suddenly the most stunning view of Grand Teton, which looms about 13,500 feet high. Then, the views of the Tetons were visible all around us. The Tetons are more rugged appearing mountains than those in Yellowstone and there are several small glaciers all over the Park. There aren’t any highways that climb the high peaks. However, if we had visited Teton Village, we would have had an up close view of Jackson Hole, a challenging ski area. We did drive around Jackson, WY and it is as touristy as can be. We did not get out of the car. LOL.

A day to rest and catch up before leaving for Anacortes, WA on Monday. I edited some pictures and got them better organized and in the afternoon went to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center two blocks from our RV Park. It is a fascinating place with many live animals and a great education experience. I learned a great deal about the bears and wolves and the history of the bears in Yellowstone. Well worth the visit. They are wonderful advocates and stewards of these animals and it is encouraging that conservation efforts are continuing to move ahead to maintain a healthy balance of these creatures in their natural habitat and the intervention of humans.
