155. Grand Teton NP, 1st Day

Anjuli woke up early for no good reason so she headed out for sunrise at Schwabacher landing for the classic reflection shot of the Tetons. A fleet of duckling destroyers came through just as the mountains were about to light up (2nd photo above). All of the photographers laughed since their wake disturbed the reflection, but they moved along quickly. Anjuli then drove around to a few other scenic areas to take nice photos before the sun became too harsh, still home just after 8am.

We took it easy for the rest of the morning and walked over to Jackson Lake since we are at Colter Bay Campground.

After lunch, we drove the bikes down to the Southern end of the scenic drive and unloaded them at a pull-off. We rode North to Jenny Lake along the dedicated bike path, which was awesome. Jordan and Anjuli rode on the e-bike as usual while Bruce fought the wind uphill in both directions on his old school bike (it must have changed directions while we were at Jenny Lake). Jordan made friends with this bird while Bruce was loading the bikes back on the truck at the end. I've never seen a bird hop up that close to a human.

After the bike ride, we took Jordan to her ice cream reward and other food at the Mangy Moose, a favorite from our last trip to Jackson Hole back in 2018.
