Grand Teton National Park - Under Appreciated...

I often think that Grand Teton National Park is considered a step-sister to Yellowstone and does not get the respect it deserves.  At a mere 310,000 acres (compared to Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres) it is definitely smaller, but the scenery is absolutely stunning.  We could see the majestic Teton Mountains just pop up in our view as we approached from Dubois.  We went to Jackson for breakfast and then drove out near the mountains to Teton Village.  We opted not to do the tram ride ($29 each).    The scenic drive to Jenny Lake was closed for a few hours due to road work so we just continued on to Jackson Lake and stopped at Signal Mountain Lodge to check out the view of the lake.  All the while we had spectactular views of the Teton Mountains.

On our way out of the Park we came across a traffic jam of cars...all caused by a moose standing in the river eating.  She seemed oblivious to the presence of dozens of people and vehicles so we got some great shots of her.
