Grand Tetons

Hike to Fall

Jenny Lake is a beautiful spot just outside of Jackson Hole in the Teton National Park.  We took a boat across the lake and then hiked up to Hidden Falls where the cold mountain water cascaded down the mountain, over rocks and cliffs and through the woods. The weather was perfect and the smell of pine trees made you lift your nose into the air.  We kept peeling off layers of clothes and by the time we got to Inspiration Point, 7200 ft. I had zipped off the bottoms of my pants and was in a tank top. Can’t imagine doing this in the summer with the heat and crowds of people and kids.  We stopped for lunch and looked down over the lake and valley.  What a way to have lunch- Pretty spectacular with The Grand Teton Peaks behind us and still some snow on them. 

 Back in Jackson Hole we enjoyed a Gallery Stroll.  The town has about 50 art galleries and most of them had something going on. Some of our favorite goodies included BBQ Buffalo sliders, sugared Elk bacon strips and venison carpacio.  After seeing some wonderful art, most of which would never go into a beach house, we went to the Silver Dollar Saloon, recommended by cousin Jimmy “Sea”.  We had the most awesome pheasant soup, met some interesting locals and danced to a great band.  What a great day!
