We decided to hike back to one of the places we camped the last time we were there, and we stopped at The Grand Tetons Inspiration Point.
This is the Cascade Canyon Trail.
The aspens were changing colors and made the trail even more beautiful.
Bob’s at our old campsite. No bears here, but we talked to someone who told us that a black bear crossed the trail right behind us.
.
Bob’s getting inspired at Inspiration Point on our way back.
We missed the last shuttle boat and had to hike around the lake again. That adds two miles to our hike, which made it a 13 mile hike.
The next day we drove over the Teton Pass into Idaho and saw more aspen doing their Fall thing.
The Sheriff and his Deputy patrol Jackson on horseback. When they drove past our truck and saw our PA plate they commented on the long drive we had.
They were doing a controlled burn in the Park and the smoke made the Tetons look extra high.
There are a lot of lakes and rivers in the area. Bob tried his hand at fishing again, with the same results. No fish.
We took a long drive along a bumpy dirt road where the park Ranger said she sees sheep. We were almost out and Bob said that’s it for us again, no sheep, when I looked up and guess what I saw! SHEEP!!
We saw two, both females, and we were happy!
They were hard to see, and just hopped along the rocks with no problems at all.
The mom is watching Bob to make sure he doesn’t get too close.
Can you believe it? After all these years of waiting to see big horn sheep we finally saw two and they decided to come closer!
She’s getting ready to cross the road!
She’s crossing right in front of our truck! What luck!
There they go…two big horn sheep. Now we’d like to see a ram, but at least we finally saw big horn sheep, and no Jaime, we were not at a zoo!
After hiking, and driving around looking for sheep, we tried some of the great biking trails. There are bike trails from Jackson to the Park, and this one that goes from the Visitor’s Center to Jenny Lake, a 14 mile round trip.
