The Grand Tetons

Jackson Lodge, near us in the Grand Teton NP, has a good connection so I get to post!! It is weird being so disconnected in the USofA. I offer these, for now, without captions.

Since we are staying at the Headwaters Lodge in Grand Teton National Park, it seemed logical to spend out first day there before we journey just a few miles north into Yellowstone, which we will do tomorrow.

So, basically we drove along the John D. Rockefeller Jr Memorial Parkway, Rockefeller and his son Laurance were major patrons of the park in its early development, stopping for brief walks at the Mount Moran Overlook, String Lake, and Jenny Lake before visiting the historic cabins at Menor’s Ferry. And that made for a day along with a number of other shorter stops.

The day was not a good one for photography, smoke from the nearby Roosevelt Fire cast an increasingly dense blanket over the valley as the day went on. The mountains were visible, but capturing them in photos was a challenge. The fall colors, on the other hand, were a treat to see and photograph. For many of these images the best answer was black and white.
