Grand Tetons

After one night in Thermopolis we continued on to the Grand Tetons arriving at the Colter Bay Campground in early afternoon. We decided to dry camp for a couple of days at a whopping $10.50 a day (Golden Age rate). We did a short tour of the area but with storm clouds forming the light was not great for photography.

The story was different on Tuesday morning when we arrived at the oxbow lake near Moran junction. This is the iconic view of Mt Moran and the Grand Tetons. We were there at four different times on two days and got four different images.

After photographing Mt Moran on Tuesday we drove down to the Gros Ventre road to see if we could find any moose. No moose but we did see a nice herd of Bison.

We continued on to Mormon Row and got some great shots of the barns with the Grand Tetons in the background. We went there again on Wednesday morning and the area was covered in fog.

We then drove to Moose Wilson road and got a brief glimpse of a black bear.

Then it was time to pack up the Winnebago and head for Yellowstone.
