Grand Tetons National Park

I spent three nights at the Gros Ventre (pronounced Grow Vont) Campground in the Grand Tetons National Park, just 10 miles from the adorable, tourist town of Jackson, Wyoming. Plus, I had phone and Internet service there. I was treated to the sounds of the rushing Gros Ventre River every evening from my camp site. A few miles away I observed a herd of about 50 Bison. Also, one day I was treated to 3 Moose grazing on the banks of the Gros Ventre River.

One day I drove the 50 mile scenic route. I had lunch at the Jenny Lake Lodge, then later that evening had a scrumptious dinner at the local live theatre before enjoying the wild, rambunctious musical rendition of "The Legend of Cat Ballou." It was very entertaining, and hilarious!! I had vague memories of the movie Cat Ballou starring Lee Marvin. The play was similar, but not quite the same.

The next day I browsed through the National Wildlife Museum, then did the very strenuous 3 mile hike to Hidden Falls from the Jenny Lake Visitors Center. I took the easy way back though, a 10 minute boat ride back to the Visitors Center.
