Mountain Majesty - The Grand Tetons

Leaving Jackson Hole early morning, I always take a deep breathe, readying myself for the awesome panorama ahead. It seems you just round a corner and there they are in all their majesty, the mighty Grand Teton mountains.


There were no crowds of tourists, the air was perfect, around 70 degrees, the sun was shining with a few high puffy clouds just grazing the top of Grand Teton 13,770 feet, and Mt. Moran 12,605 feet, the highest peaks in the Grand Teton Range.


Still some snow on the peaks and the cool morning required a light jacket.

If you've never visited this area of great beauty, I encourage you to do so. It's close to the South entrance to Yellowstone so you can enjoy exploring both National Parks within a couple of days.


The wildflowers were still abundant and the meadows green due to some wet weather prior to our visit.....................mountains and flowers, always a perfect combination.

Leaving the Tetons and Wyoming is always hard. These towering peaks really are awesome.

I'll be back soon to show you a beautiful day in Yellowstone when, as always, Old Faithful was on time!
