Tetons from Wind River Range

When traveling from Dubois to Moran Junction on US-26 one of the first things you do after passing over the continental divide at Togwottee Pass in the Absaroka Mountains is to start looking for your first view of the Teton Mountain Range.

Here it is, a view of the Teton Mountain Range from high in the Absaroka Mountains east of Moran Junction.

That is Mt. Moran in the Teton Mountain Range as seen from high in the Absaroka Mountain Range east of Moran Junction on US-26. It is late June and snow is still in the upper elevations.

The valley east of Moran Junction that follows the Buffalo Fork of the Snake River is one of the most beautiful valleys anywhere.

A view similar to this one is common when in the Buffalo Fork River Valley.

If you are visiting Grand Teton National Park get a map and find the Buffalo Fork River (Buffalo Fork of the Snake River) and follow the road up the valley from US-26. When you get to Turpin Meadows it is time to turn around and return. The views as you return are simply awesome. When you get to Turpin Meadows Ranch stop at the bridge and take pictures. You will understand what I mean when you get there.
