Grand Tetons

On Sunday, we drove through the Grand Tetons.  It was beautiful, you'll see lots of pictures in this post.

First stop, the visitors center.  Most of the exhibits were closed, but Graham managed to sneak in a few photos.





After gathering some info, we were on our way.  We started the loop on Teton Park Road.  Our first stop was Menors Ferry Historic District. Here we explored homestead and pioneer life in Jackson Hole.  As we walked around the exhibit we had a few snowflakes fall.







A replica of the ferry that took people across the Snake River.


Unfortunately, the Chapel of the Transfiguration was closed. They say that the best place to take a photo of the Tetons is in the altar window because it frames the tallest Teton peaks.



We turned out at the Teton Glacier point.

Cascade Canyon:
The fog was settling in from the snow.



A drive around Jenny Lake. We stopped here for lunch. The lodge restaurant was closed but the little coffee shop was open and we found a table in the sun to eat at.


The Cathedral Group:




We stopped in at the Chapel of the Sacred Heart.



Beautiful stained glass window. Graham took the picture by holding his camera against the outside window opposite.

They said Oxbend Turnout was a good place to see wildlife, however, we saw absolutely no wildlife on this drive. So on to the Cunningham Cabin Historic Site.  This is the oldest historic building remaining in the park.





The last stop before heading home was the Mormon Row Historic District.
