Aug.25: Morning came very early today. We got up long before sunrise and hit the road to some spots that a ranger had told us of the night before. Always seeing pictures of the Tetons, I wanted to get a chance at seeing what I could do. First we noticed the full moon was about to set behind the mountains. I did not plan on where it was going to be aligned so we missed the best opportunity. We did get to a beautiful overlook just as first light hit the top of the Tetons. My pictures don’t do it justice. We went from there to an old farm setting that has been preserve for effect. It is very effective as a foreground. After all the camera play, we were ready for breakfast so we headed for Moose Junction a small area where there is fuel, fishing supplies, boating and bike rentals, and food. Food was in order now so we had breakfast in a teepee at an outdoor café. At 32 degrees this was a tough choice but we did not know where else to go. The food was great and gave us the energy we needed for our hike around Jenny Lake. The hike was only 7.5 miles but it was plenty for us (I think we are about hiked out). We have just one more planned hike before we leave here in the Tetons. This is a park that should not ever be missed. I am so glad we have come by here.
