I thought my eyes could see no more beauty......but it just keeps getting better! Today, another gorgeous bluebird sky day with temps in the high 70's.....perfect! We headed out to Colter Bay for some boating on Jackson Lake. The water was a bit chilly for me (64 degrees) but Guy found it quite refreshing and jumped from the boat several times to the clean cool mountain lake.
I navigated the waters with ease in our little Jon boat.
We spotted a golden bald eagle near the bird sanctuary which according to the park ranger, is a rarity to see. We felt very fortunate to have such a sighting. After a wonderful day on the lake, we headed back to the convertible for some more wildlife sightseeing. About 50 yards away, we spotted a mama brown bear tearing up logs looking for grubs. The power in her claws made it look like child's play as she lifted these huge stumps with ease. We felt very brave watching as the car was just steps away. Driving down the road, we were abruptly stopped for the crossing of the Bison. The force and size of these animals are very intimidating. We also came across a herd
of Elk with about 100 in the group. It was an amazing sight to behold! After 3 days in the Tetons, taking in all the beautiful sights, we were ready to head an hour north to Yellowstone National Park!!
