We have arrived at the Grand Tetons. They are so beautiful. We are staying here for 3 days. We went into Jackson today. It is a beautiful town that looks like an old western town. Walked around for a while and had lunch at a great tavern. I can't describe how beautiful it is here. Everywhere you look there are mountains. The Tetons have glaciers on them. They took pictures in 1878 of them with the glacier and it still looks the same in our pictures all these years later.
We took a drive to see Jenny Lake. It is so beautiful and clear. You can see the rocks at the bottom of the lake it is so clean and the backdrop of the mountains is just gorgeous.
We also spent the afternoon Monday on a raft tour on the Snake River. They provided lunch in the woods near the shore before we boarded our raft. We got to see eagles in the trees. Not much other wildlife around though,,,,a little dissapointed. The 2 1/2 hr river ride was great though. We hit a few showers and some lightning bolts. The river guides said not to worry though because we were riding on rubber and the mountains all around us would take the lightning hits and not us. Was glad it happened towards the very end of the trip. When we got back to the motorhome it started to pour. We just made it through. Glad we didn't decide to go later in the day.
Left the Tetons on Tuesday the 17th and headed for Casper, Wy to have some work done on our slide-out awning. With that fixed, we headed to Cheyenne, Wy on the 19th for one night stay.
Today is the 20th and we are at a campground in Colorado Springs, Co. Tomorrow we are going to see the Olympic Village where they train the athletes heading for the Olympics. It should be very interesting. Not sure what else we will do as there is lots to do around here. We will be moving north of here about n70 miles on Sunday and will stay there for a week to tour the area. We will be right outside of Denver, Co. Will update you on what we have seen in a few days.
Posted a few more pictures for those who are interested.
