It was a great day in the Tetons. We left out at 6:00 AM and found our first moose just before the Gros Ventre Junction.

Two more moose were spotted near Kelly. They were intently watching some elk in the distance.

In the same field were deer.

We took a drive along Gros Ventre River Road to see the landslide of 1925.

On our way to the north side of the park this bison posed beautifully for us.

The reflections were incredible again at Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake.

We rode the boat across Jenny Lake and hike to Hidden Falls which was 95% covered in snow.

For years we have passed a sign directing visitors to the Cunningham Cabin, Wyoming Historic Site. Here it is.

Sharon and I set out on another walk looking for moose but only saw birds and a few cute ground squirrels.

The proghorn antelope are migrating to Grand Tetons which is their Summer range. These were some of the first back.

While wiating for our evening moose sightings we were entertained by bison and got in a couple of jams.

The long wait paid off. Instead of seven, we only saw one... but still a prize sighting in the Tetons.

We had a brief rain earlier in the evening and we saw a colorful rainbow, but the sunset was equally as spectacular.

Tomorrow we head for Yellowstone.
