Wild West Trip II: Grand Teton

SUNDAY JUNE 30th 

Today we moved from Yellowstone to the Tetons! I was very excited to spend some time in this area since we only came down for a short day trip on our last visit. It was just as stunning as I remember.


The rest of the family went to Old Faithful for the morning, so we went straight down and did a little exploring while they were doing that.

First up was Cunningham Cabin-the views were gorgeous from this old homestead.

Then we drove out to Schwabacher Landing to look for a moose even though it was about lunchtime and we knew the chances were low. That's alright it was still so pretty! We still had some time before our cabin would be ready so we went for pizza at Leek's Marina and Pizzeria. It was delicious! By now the rest of the crew was heading to Colter Bay also so we drove down to meet up with them. We perused the visitor center and I bought my park patch. 

Then we waited and waited and waited for our cabin! Their cabin got ready really quickly but we were not so fortunate. Once we were finally in we unpacked then our family decided to drive the loop around the park.

After dinner we decided to do one last drive to look for a moose. We went to Schwarbacher Landing and waited for quite a while and sadly didn't see anything-still beautiful though! And then as we were leaving Josh spotted one!

And that was the end to a long, fun day!

MONDAY JULY 1st 

We were up early to go on a hike to Moose Pond near Jenny Lake. 

Sadly, no moose on Moose Lake and we took a crazy detour that made the hike back extra long lol. 

Then we drove the rest of the loop stopping at all the pretty places. 

Then it was time for brunch! We cooked out in the wilderness and it was so delicious.

After breakfast the clouds/rain rolled in so we camped out in the cabin for a bit (we had decent wifi here so everyone was happy about that!)

All the adults went to check out Jackson Lodge-it's just a beautiful hotel on a lake.

Came back and played a couple hilarious rounds of Telestrations before calling it a day!

TUESDAY JULY 2nd

We were on the road home fairly early-partly because we were dropping Em off at the airport along the way. Smooth drive home and the end to a wonderful vacation!
