Day 6

We grabbed a quick breakfast (donuts on the road) and got into Yellowstone early to head toward the Grand Tetons. It paid off.....not 10 miles into the park we saw a bald eagle, not far from its nest. It was a long, uneventful drive to the Tetons, but we were in high hopes of seeing lots of moose. A short time into the Tetons we saw a grizzly near the road.......but we never saw a moose.

We spent a little time at Jenny Lake-which was packed as most places were over the holiday week. Then bought food for a picnic lunch at a secluded spot with a spectacular view of the mountains-I think I could spend all day in front of a view like that! We did some hiking, delaying our leave until after supper so that we might see moose in the early evening-no luck. Then, back in the car for a long drive back to West Yellowstone where we were delayed by construction but caught an awesome sunset over the mountains, and spent our last night at the Evergreen.
