Weather forecast called for partly cloudy conditions today so we decided to head to Jenny Lake for a hike. Jenny Lake is named after a shoshone Indian who married an Englishman – Richard “Beaver Dick” Leigh. We got this picture on the way up the trail. THEN we saw this big dark cloud off in the distance when we were about half way up the trail Oh no!! It started to sprinkle. We kept hiking and it started to rain harder. Fortunately, the thunder and lightning were some distance away. Michael checked the small backpack but……… there was only one poncho. So since he is such a great guy, he gave me the poncho to wear. We made it to Hidden Falls – which is an 80 ft. waterfalls. Got some great pictures. We hiked about 3 miles and then took the shuttle boat back to the Visitor’s Center. When we docked, we noticed there were small ponchos for sale so we bought some just in case.

After spending time at Mormon Row, we headed to the Snake River Overlook. During our float trip last night, the guide pointed out the overlook and said that’s where Ansel Adams’s famous shot of the Tetons was taken and has imitated with less success by generations of photographers. There is a marker designating the spot where he took the photo and a picture of him standing on the roof of his car taking photos.
