Colter Bay in the Tetons

The Teton Range, the Grand Tetons in Wyoming have been around

for more than 11000 years. Wrap yourself around that! The Grand Teton

National Park was established in 1929...getting closer for me!

Next, we visit Colter Bay in the Tetons, very early in the morning

for a boat ride and uh, a great unique breakfast!

 

Taking pictures early in the morning proved to be the best time of day of the

Grand Tetons. When you go to Colter Bay, do the early AM tour with breakfast.

 

 

 

 

These pictures taken at

about 7 AM capture the Teton Range

beauty with a very simple camera at

Colter Bay

 

The Colter Bay area has great walking, hiking and of course boating. We

had Jackson Lake, the Tetons, and Signal Mountain area including the Lodge.

Judy is ready to launch the boat. It's about

7:15 AM, beautiful day and beautiful lady

bringing on the day.

Colter is best remembered for explorations he made during the winter of 1807–1808. He entered the Yellowstone area and defined Teton area. John Colter was a part of the

Lewis and Clark expedition.

 

It's 7:15 AM and these two great

ladies have sunshine in their eyes.

We launch at 8:00 AM

Underway! Heading to Elk Island

for Breakfast.
