The Grand Teton National Park was stunning. The snow-capped peaks go straight up from the plains below. We ate lunch over looking a lake and the mountains-so beautiful. Again we are so surprised that the landscape here is so different from Yellowstone just ~30 miles away.
Because my mother had worked here she took us to all her old haunts and on a little known dirt road where we saw moose.
We took the tram out of Jackson Hole Village to the top of a peak (can’t remember the name). I don’t know what I was thinking, I am already suffering from altitude sickness and it rose to ~10,000 feet in just 15 mins. The platform at the top was just metal grates and so scary, we walked around the platform and got on the tram to go straight back down. Then we went into Jackson to get groceries. Jackson was lovely. We have been buying groceries for breakfast and one other meal and eating in a restaurant for either lunch or dinner. The restaurants in the west have been spectacular. I have eaten trout 3x this week, once was trout tacos- Yum! Huckleberries are huge here. They have whole shops just dedicated to huckleberry products. I had huckleberry pie in Glacier, huckleberry ice cream in several spots, one chocolate huckleberry truffle and I bought huckleberry lemonade mix for home.
