Saturday morning was clear again and we caught this view as we drove toward the park. We are looking across the basin known as Jackson Hole West toward the Tetons.
We headed to the Rockefeller Preserve.... which was purchased by Lawrence Rockefeller and donated to the park. It's the newest acquisition to the park and includes Phelps Lake shown here. We hiked to the lake (about a 1.5 mile hike one way. We were rewarded with this view.
We sat on a bench and ate lunch looking at this view. We took the hike back to the car and headed for Teton Village.
As we returned to the car we looked West and saw the clouds over the mountain.
At Teton Village we took the tram to the top of Rendezvous peak. The peak is 10500 feet and is the top of the Jackson Hole ski area. Just might have to try skiing here someday.
This morning we bid farewell to the gang and headed to Twin Falls, Idaho where we are this evening. Tomorrow it's Winnemucca, Nevada, then Reno and home by Wednesday noon if all goes well.
All in all a great trip. Too soon over. See you all as we head out again.
