The Mountains

The views were amazing. I wish we could have camped at Jenny Lake for a week. We did have 2 beautiful sunny camping days - the rest were rainy/snowy hotel days...which is what can happen when you plan a mountain camping trip in late May.

animal sightings in the Grand Tetons/Sawtooth Mountains

Marmot
Moose (and Moose Baby!)
Osprey (They have really cool nests)
Coyotes
Bison
Red Fox
Mountain Blue Bird
The highlights were definitely the mom and baby moose that crossed the road right in front of us, but also the Mountain Blue Bird. I've drawn blue birds many times from photos I've found online, but I've never actually seen a real one before. It wasn't until our last day driving down through the mountains that Matt spotted one from the car - so we pulled over and the blue bird flew over to pose for me on a fence post and then on top of a sign post. It was the prettiest blue.
