Grand Tetons, Wyoming

Signal Mountain Campgroud, Grand Tetons, WY

We got so lucky! We had our sites set on a specific campground. We pulled into Signal Mountain campground by late morning. All the campsites here are first come, so we didn't even know if we'd get a spot. We snagged a gorgeous site, high on the hill, with a peek at the lake and the Tetons. Sweet! The Tetons are just breathtaking.

This view is from Jackson Dam.

 

 

 

After a picnic at our site, we headed off exploring the park.

We strolled around String Lake. It was a hot day. There were people swimming, paddle boarding and diving from huge rocks submerged in the lake. Just like home! Really made me miss the Yuba River in the summer. Mmmm...could I possibly be getting a yearning to head home and swim in the South Yuba?

 

On our walkabout, Ned heading to Jenny Lake.

 

 

 

We also visited Jenny Lodge and Jenny Lake. Here's Jenny Lodge, very understated compared to the grand Jackson Lodge.

 

Loved all the wildflowers in the park. The wildflowers across Wyoming are really spectacular this year.

Here's a view of Jackson Lake from Signal Lodge.

 

 

Mr. Ned, at Jackson Lodge, where we stopped in for some afternoon libation.

 

Another great late afternoon to spend in the hammock reading. Here's the view from my perch.
