Grand Teton National Park!

Three days in Grand Teton National Park did not disappoint!  Our drive from Ashton, ID was beautiful through lush green fields that took us to Teton Pass at an elevation of 8,432’ into Jackson Hole, WY.  After a short walk around the town we headed to the entrance of the national park.   Throughout our exploring we encountered all types of wildlife. Have you ever wondered how the park rangers show up so quickly when animals are visible from the road?  Most of the animals that frequent populated areas are “chipped” and “tracked” ; when an animal is getting close…
