Float trip on the Snake River Float trip down the Snake River from Moose Junction in Grand Teton National Park to the Wilson Bridge (southwest of Jackson) with our Son Jeff and Grandson Stephen. Aug 21, 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 the Gros Ventre Campground because it is located only 10-miles north of Jackson and we love Jackson and all it has to offer.
We left West Yellowstone, Montana this morning to return to Gros Ventre Campground in Grand Teton National Park. Jeff and Stephen fly out of Jackson tomorrow returning to Pensacola after visiting with us this week. We got an early start on our way back to Grand Teton National Park because we had a scenic raft trip scheduled for 4 PM.
Bull Moose in Snake River near Dornan's in Grand Teton National Park
We got back to Grand Teton National Park and set up our motorhome in the Gros Ventre Camground with plenty of time to spare. Our scenic raft trip this afternoon is with Dornan's. Will Dornan has an agreement with the National Park Service to operate 3-scenic float trips per-day on a section of the river not open to other rafting companies. This scenic trip floats the section of Snake River between Moose Junction in Grand Teton National Park and the Wilson Bridge on the southwest side of Jackson (a 14-mile float).
We had only been floating for a minute or so when our guide spotted this large bull moose. For those of you familiar with the Tetons this moose was on the Snake River within yards of the new Teton Information Center that was recently dedicated.
