day 36 ...Idaho Falls via Grand Tetons


We drove out of the south entrance of YS park without even eating breakfast. Plan was to eat somewhere in Grand Teton area. First we saw beautiful frozen lakes and then this water fall by the road side. It is on lake Lewis , still inside the YS boundaries.



Right after Yellowstone, we entered the Grand Tetons. I have just one word to describe them , " GRAND". The mountains have lots of snow and rivers are half frozen and everything is beautiful . We took so many pictures that it is hard to decide what to put here, so i am putting just one.
Most of the places were still closed. We ate at a place called , " Story mountain lodge" , it was the way lodge should be. Beautiful views and great wholesome food.
We were going to the town of Jackson Hole and encountered this building on the road side. Upon further investigation, this turned out to be the , National Museum of Wild Life art " a true hidden gem. They have the best collection of the wildlife art ( sculptures, paintings etc) in the world ( they claim)


One example of their collection.


Jackson hole is an interesting town. Sort of quite now but they will process over a million people this summer ( someone said these words to us). The arch in the picture is real antler arch. The Elks shed them every spring and the boy scouts collect them and rotary club makes the art.

We drove to Idaho Falls this evening . It is quite late because I am doing all four blogs tonight. Jagdish is sleeping but not very happy about the night being on. So, I will update the map tomorrow.
Thanks for being with me in this journey. It has been fun. Good night and sleep well.
