A Busy, Beautiful Day

Hi all.

Today was our Back Country Day and we decided to hike around Phelps Lake where bears had been seen recently. As we drove down Moose-Wilson Road the sun glinted off some of the Teton peaks.


As we hiked along the lake, the views and reflections were spectacular

At the north end of the lake, the views into Death Canyon were stunning.

Soon after we got this photo we found a young black bear feeding along the trail. We watched for about 20 minutes until he climbed out of sight. 

After our 7.5 mile hike we returned to the campground looking forward to a quiet evening. It was not to be. 

A cow moose and her two calves settled into the campground parking lot, attracting a lot of attention. 
We spent two more hours keeping people and cars from getting too close to the moose. Did we mention we get time and a half after eight hours;-).

Love,
