Day 25 – Wow!
Today I did not want our bike ride to end. We rode 52 miles from Grant Village, WY to
Moran, WY, which is just northeast of Jackson Hole. Said another way: we biked 20 miles in
Yellowstone National Park followed by 32 miles in Grand Teton National
Park. Riding along the mountain range of
The Grand Tetons is by far the most majestic scenery thus far and I would be
surprised if we see anything better. If
you have not seen The Grand Tetons put it on your to-do list. Seriously – go experience them. This summer if possible.
The temps were in the 30’s and 40’s today so a bit
brisk. But I will take cold over wind or
rain any day. We are able to dress for
the cold so we are very comfortable.
We finished a little early today, providing time for a few
other great experiences. We are in an
area that is sparsely populated and restaurants are few and far between. But we stumbled onto a resort called The
Signal Mountain Lodge, which has a couple restaurants. We had great food and great service, but the
view from our table was stunning. A
completely unobstructed view of Jackson Lake with the Tetons behind it. When you go to the Tetons eat at one of the
restaurants at Signal Mountain Lodge (ask for a table with a view). You will not be disappointed. On the way back from dinner we took a scenic
route and spotted a couple herds of bison and countless elk. For miles and miles we just kept seeing
them. To cap the day off, despite a
relatively cloudy night we were able to watch the sun set behind the Tetons.
Today I was once again blessed beyond measure.

Awesome! Your pictures made me pull up our Montana, Wyoming Harley trip -- the Tetons are really beautiful. Much easier on the back of a Harley though! :) Thanks for at least 3 shots!! If I'm looking at the route correctly, it looks like you'll be following another river today -- hope it's as pretty. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the Grand Tetons is definitely on our to-do list! Dustin and Maddy went hiking there last summer and absolutely loved it. I would love to experience that view in person!
ReplyDeleteI recommend you and Jay put it high on the priority list!
