Teton National Park to Lander, Wyoming

Leaving the Teton National Park at Moran Junction we went over the Togwotee Pass in Bridger-Teton National Forest, took a side trip to Brooks Lake in the Shoshone National Forest, had lunch in Dubois, and continued on through the Wind River Indian Reservation to Lander. The landscape takes on many different appearances on this route, and all are spectacular in their own way.

We have really enjoyed the hospitality of the Scotts. They have hauled us all over the area to share with us some of their favorite haunts - scenic areas, wildlife viewings, dining establishments, and a little culture at the National Museum of Wildlife Art (special!). They contributed so much to our Jackson/Teton experience and it was so good to share the time with them. Great food and fellowship on top of all the tourist things was just so enjoyable. After a fantastic week-end, we left today, headed east.

The folks on the roadside just 20 yards from the cub are probably oblivious to the fact that its mother is probably nearby and things could get ugly Moose cow on Moose-Wilson road Tetons in distance, reaching into the first clouds we had seen during our visit there Our last glimpse of the Tetons
