Grand Teton National Park

We toured the park two days while we were camped in Gros Ventre Campground.  We visited Jenny Lake and Jackson lake.  We popped into a campground on Jackson Lake to have snacks and let Buddy go for a swim.  We took a ride to the top of signal mountain where there were dramitic views of the valley.  There was a cell tower there and I had 5 bars on my phone.
The following day we toured Menor's Ferry and the Chapel of the Transfiguration.  Bill Menor built the first ferry to cross the Snake river in the early 1900's.  A replica of the ferry still operates in the summer, but the person who operated it was promoted and had other duty's to attend to when we visited.  There were several buildings on the site; a cabin, a church, and a storage building for wagons and sleds for transportation.




Episcopalian services are held at the Chapel in the summer.
