Teton Canyon

Hi All,
Today we went on an expedition to Idaho with Steve & Marcy. We drove over Teton Pass (miles of 10% grades that tops out at 8,421 ft.). Our first stop in Idaho was the Spud Drive In Theater, famous for spud burgers.


We then drove to Driggs, ID and up into Teton Canyon ( which brought us back into WY). In Targhee National Forest we hiked into the Jedediah Smith Wilderness. We found braided waterfalls

Steep sided canyon walls

and beautiful deep woods streams.
Our four mile round trip hike offered great mountain scenery with very little elevation gain. After the hike, we had a great lunch at the Royal Wolf, recommended by one of the local hikers we met. The menu was diverse and the food was great, including baked potatoes with an enormous array of toppings. This was the kind of local restaurant we would never have found on our own.

Back on the road we climbed Teton Pass again and soaked in the view from the top.


Back on Moose-Wilson Rd we found our beavers again 


as well as cow moose in the beaver pond.
Back in Moose (the town) we found a big bull moose visible from the bridge.

A great day!

Love,
