Dragon in the Lake. Loved the colors of this old tree stump and it reminded us of a dragon. This is Jenny Lake. Jenny Lake is named for the Shoshone wife of Beaver Dick Leigh

One of the old farm buildings along Mormon Row. The farmland was homesteaded by the Mormon settlers in the early 1900’s. It was later purchased by Rockefeller’s Snake River Land Company and transferred to the Park Service.

We decided to go on an organized tour of the Tetons. If you are ever in Jackson Hole and have the time take an all day tour with Eco Tours. Our guide Jamie was a former ranger and was a great tour guide. This is the first picture I have posted of us but thought it turned out good and its proof we made it to the Tetons

My rack is bigger than your rack. Traffic jam on the road – that can only mean there must be wildlife around. We managed to get within 20 yards of this guy. He just kept munching and didn’t pay any attention to all of the people and cars

It was rainy and overcast so it was hard to get a good picture of Old Faithful

Are you looking at me. Just outside of Jackson Hole there were a lot of horses alongside the road. Took a bunch of pictures and liked this one the best.

Jackson Lake The lake is really low – in fact as of August 1st, it was at 62% of it’s 847,000 acre capacity It is estimated that it will be at 18% capacity by the end of September. We were surprised to discover the reason was that the water drains into the Snake River thru a dam and is used for potato growing and dairy farming in Idaho. The dairy farming industry has been increasing in Idaho because of water restrictions in California that forced dairy farmers to move elsewhere – Idaho
