Grand Teton National Park

We drove up to within a couple of hours of the park and stayed the night in the parking lot of a Shoshone Tribe grocery/gas/gift store. We went diagonally northwest thru Wyoming on US 287, probably the most desolate and beautiful US highway I’ve ever been on. Stock up on groceries, diesel, water, etc. in Rawlins ‘cause there’s nothing till Teton. After the Shoshone sleep, Dubois gave us diesel and coffee at 6:00 AM. Then about 20 minutes from the Park, the Hatchet Resort gave us a dynamite breakfast with a Texas waitress that made great “morning coffee”.

We’re staying in a campground in the park; nice and quiet with views.

We went to the top of Signal Mtn, had lunch in the Jackson Lake Lodge Mural Room (great food and views to match), and drove to the Jackson Hole ski area. I blew off laundry – that will be in Yellowstone tomorrow.
