Grand Teton National ParkAug 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 and 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 pictures that I thought would be interesting, especially to people who have not visited the Tetons.

Smoke from wildfire east of Grand Teton NP in a National Forrest
This is smoke from a wild fire 30 to 40 miles to the east of us near Thermopolis, Wyoming. The helicopter that is helping to fight this fire flies back to Jackson, Wyoming every two hours or so to refuel. The Jackson airport is to the west of the Gros Ventre Campground and the fire is to the east of us so we get to see the helicopter coming and going on a routine basis.
Old Barn on Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park
This is one of the old houses and barns on Mormon Row, not far from the Gros Ventre Campground where we are staying.

This is another of the old barns located on Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park.
Poker Flats on the Wilson to Moose Junction Road
We have seen this "Gate sign" many times. I wonder if anyone has any information on this place. I was not aware that people were still homesteading in 1963. This ranch is located on the west side of the Wilson to Moose Junction Road about 4-miles north of the Teton Village complex. There must be a story to go along with the name also.
Jackson Hole Aerial Tram
For those of you familiar with the Tram at Teton Village you might take interest in the upgrade being made. A 100 passenger $25-million tram is going to be some kind of nice tram. Of course Teton Village is a "NICE" place so this tram will only be fitting.
Grand Tetons
For purple mountains majesty comes to mind.
