Jenny Lake Road

One day at the Tetons, we decided to drive Jenny Lake Road and see what sights there were to see.  Take a look -

One of the things we noticed was a haze that seemed to hang about halfway up the mountains.  We found out that there was a wildfire in Idaho, and the haze was smoke from that wildfire.

As we drove across a bridge, I noticed this great reflection shot.  What I didn't know at the time was that to have the water this calm seemed rather unusual.  Any other time we drove over this bridge, the water was very wavy and almost choppy.  Lucky us!

This image is of what's called The Cathedral Group.  I can't remember all the names of the peaks, but one thing that does stand out in my mind is that there are 3 Teton named peaks - Little, Middle and Grand Tetons.  Other peaks are named for explorers that have summited those peaks.

Isn't this a great shot - and what a great scenic place to live!  It sounds a bit odd, but people live in very close proximity to the national park and some of the roads vary between inside and outside the Park.  Did you know that John Rockefeller was instrumental in the recognition of this area as a national park.  He bought up quite a bit of land and then donated it to the country for this park.  Thanks, Mr. Rockefeller!

 

Enjoy!
