We left Rock Springs for Grand Teton National Park this morning. Our first stop was at the Jackson visitor center then we took the road to Kelly which loped around and back to US 191. After leaving the Moose Visitor Center, taking Teton Park Road, and arriving at the Signal Mountain Campground, we decided to back track to the Gros Ventre Campground for the night then take US 191 north to Yellowstone. When we register at the campground, we were told to be very, very careful as both a mountain lion and a bear had been hanging around the area. We saw plenty of tracks and calling cards but no wildlife.
We had been seeing patches of snow since leaving Cheyenne. Here in Grand Teton, there are fields of snow from a couple inches to several feet deep. I took photos. The wind finally died down this evening. So far we have seen elk far in the distance, mule deer near the fences and bison coming toward us.
