Grand Tetons, Wyoming part 1

This past week we took a couple of days of from work to have a 4 day camping trip. We left Wednesday after work and camped in Beaver Creek near West Yellowstone. Then on Thursday, we drove on to The Grand Tetons and stayed in Colter Bay. The mornings were chilly but it warmed up nicely during the day and even got hot.


The pictures are out of order, but I will try to label each one. These are not all. More will be put on tomorrow.

On Saturday, we drove into Jackson Hole, Wyoming to the Teton Village.


We rode the aerial tram to the top of Rendezvous Mountain. The elevation in 10, 600 feet.

Sunday Picnic Fun

Today we had some of Fred's friends from work over for cookout. The weather was perfect and everyone had a good time. There was badminton, volleyball, fishing, and a bean bag toss similar to horseshoes. And lots of good food!
