After ferrying across Jenny Lake
And then some of us continued on up to the overlook (you can see one of the ferryboats to the bottom left of the sign)
Chipmunks were everywhere!
It was raining again when we reached the other side and I
was able to get these bluebells
Supper
Looking for a moose…
And after driving numerous places after dinner—searching for wildlife—we discovered five
young antlered bucks just beside the gas station/convenience story parking lot
by the campground
A few of us did some sunrise photography
And then heading home across more of WY...
A fancy Walmart
Hiking around the back of Devils Tower—this gorgeous view suddenly spread out in front of us.
And part of the last bit of the adventure—a delicious breakfast at
Egg Harbor Café in Wisconsin.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Thank you, Naomi! And oooh yes! Very Lizzy-ish, indeed!! ;-)
DeleteI love your western trip series, all of the photos are just amazing the natural scenery leaves me speechless. Thanks for sharing such wonderful posts.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Laura -- You're most welcome and I'm so glad you liked them! It all leaves me pretty speechless, too. Some of the places just take your breath away. :-)
DeleteLove the photos of the lake, falls, mountains, and barns! Devil's Tower looks pretty neat too! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed them, Bethany! :-) And yes, Devils Tower was just the wildest thing...completely different than all the other hills around it.
DeleteThat second sunrise picture, the one of the barn all glowy and full of promise -- my favorite picture from all these posts of yours. Wow.
ReplyDeleteHamlette! Yes, that was a pretty amazingly spectacular spot. With the mountains and the barns turned full to the sunrise...
DeleteIf you ever visit the Tetons, the barn area as a whole is called "Mormon Row". Until about thirty Mormon families moved in in the 1890's, the area was known as "The Bachelor Valley". Good story material, that...and my WIP is set around 1880--which should be perfect! ;-)
I went to the Tetons when I was like 6. My dad fell in love with them, but I don't really remember them. :-( Someday I'll go back, and I hope I remember to look for "Mormon Row." Also, "Bachelor Valley" would be a splendid title, wouldn't it?
DeleteIt would be! And quite full of potential. :-)
