We enjoyed meeting up with Ted’s sister, Gayle, in Jackson Hole, WY for lunch today, along with Nancy Elam, Sue (Hess) Damsen, Gayle’s daughter Heather and Heather’s friend Kaylee.
When Sue was 10, she took a trip to Yellowstone National Park with her grandparents and the main thing she remembers about Jackson Hole from that trip was this arch made of antlers. We both remember having a family photo taken here with our sons when they were young during one of our tent-trailer camping trips.
(Editors comment: On all new pics I post to this blog, if you click on them, they will open in a larger size format, thanks to the suggestion of one of our most active followers! Also, we’ve begun updating Sue’s “best of” series on the right side of the blog, so enjoy that also.)
Grand Teton National Park is a glorious place to ride a bike, and Sue and I enjoyed another bicycle ride on Friday near Moose, and loved the site of this ranch meadow with the Teton mountains in the background.
The Teton range of mountains is part of the Rockies in Wyoming within the Grand Teton National Park. We understand the Shoshone people once called the whole range Teewinot, meaning “many pinnacles” while the early French voyageurs used the name les trois tétons, meaning the three nipples. The highest peaks are part of the Cathedral group and the tallest, Grand Teton, measures in at 13,775 feet.
