Animals of Grand Teton National Park

Aug 7-17, 2007

While in the Tetons we stayed at two of the Grand Teton National Park Campgrounds: Colter Bay and Gros Ventre. Both are dry camping sites and are rarely full. Both are $17 per-night to "dry camp" with central water and dump site of course if you have the "geezer-pass" the rate will be half that. There are several hundred sites in each of the campgrounds. We spent most of our time in Gros Ventre because it is located only 10-miles from Jackson, Wyoming. We love Jackson and all it has to offer.

We have been in Grand Teton National Park for over a week now. We haven't been taking as many pictures as we normally do but we have been here so many times that we are getting sensitized. What I have put together here is a smorgasbord of animal pictures that I thought would be interesting, especially to people who have not visited the Tetons.

Bison and Grand Tetons at sunset

Buffalo, the Tetons and sunset. This picture was taken on Gros Ventre Road not far from the Gros Ventre campground we are staying in.

Cow elk and momma moose in Gros Ventre River

Here is a mother moose and her two babies. We spotted the moose as she was chasing that cow elk away from her babies. The elk beat a quick retreat. This moose and several others were hanging around the Gros Ventre River near our Gros Ventre Campground near the community of Kelly, Wyoming.

Nice buck is in velvet in the Gros Ventre Campground

Joyce captured this nice buck is in velvet about 200-yards from our motorhome in Gros Ventre Campground in Grand Teton National Park.

Mule deer buck

Get a load of the large rack on this mule deer.

Joyce and I spotted this buck when sight seeing along the upper Gros Ventre River east of Kelly, Wyoming.
