Day 22.

Today we packed up and headed South. Yellowstone into Grand Teton National Park. Jackson Lake against the Teton Range is quite a sight. We stopped at C Bay on Jackson Lake to get National Park Stamps, collectable coins, and check out The view. Along the route we saw another bison and a large black bear. The next stop Jenny Lake first a quick snack and a promised swim. Obviously a popular spot, and being Saturday, we had to park a mile away and walk in. The lake was riddled with kayaks, paddleboarders, tubers, floating devices of all kinds. The water play was much needed. We got sucked into a Utah state college research project about visiting Teton park.  We carried a GPS device and participated in an interview. The Tetons are majestically jutting out of the land surrounded by lakes the snow melt creates setting up a fantastic photograph from anywhere in the park. We would have loved to explore more but it seems much of it can be reached by trailhead and we wanted time to see Jackson Hole, Wy. We had a delicious lunch and a brew at Snake River Brewing. The kids spotted a Gaslight alley shopping area with a peculiar book store they wanted to investigate. We also discovered that at 6pm everyday but Sunday at the Town Square across from the playhouse put on an Old West gun fight so we had to stay of course. What an excellent finale! We drove the last bit to the hotel, and in time for the kids to swim, again.
