Day 8 - Grand Teton

Great view, great campground. We enjoyed the inspairing mountains of Tetons. From far up, they jumped out of the horizon to a height as much as 14,000 feet snow covered. By the way, Jackson Hole seemed like a leisure town booming with tourists. Things (such as fire wood and food) are relatively inexpensive given it is considered as a tourist trap. We did not stop there since we were concerned that we would not have a camp ground.

Must use bear safety food box or lock up all items in your car. But we did not see even a trace of bear.

We went for a gorgeous hike, around a pond and swan lake. It gave you different views of the same mountain. You have to really climb the mountain to enjoy the full view. It was recommended that you have a special premit with the Park Rangers.
We were warned that we would not get a campsite due to all the people competing for sites. However, we serve a great God and we had a lovely site, and cooked dinner over our lovely fire. We are improving our firebuilding skills. We are getting faster at putting up and tearing down our tiny tent, and Steve is rolling those sleeping bags tighter and tighter.
