GRAND TETON AND JACKSON

On our bus tour across America, we stayed at West Yellowstone for two days. On the second day we drove through the Yellowstone N.P. to the Grand Teton N.P. and the town of Jackson, Wyoming. The Teton Mountains are majestic and beautiful. The view is not obstructed by foothills.

The bus and all vehicles that day were detoured to Colter Bay for a safety check. This took some time and the tour guide and driver were not happy but we were because we could get out of the bus and take photos and stroll around the Visitor Centre.

The bus passed the test and then we were on our way to Jackson Lake Lodge for lunch.

The view from the Lodge's picture windows was stunning.

View from the deck outside.

After lunch we drove on through the Jackson Hole (valley) until we reached this very western town of Jackson.

The archways to the town park are made of antlers (they shed from the animal every year).

This was a gobsmacking scene for us Aussies. Guns for sale in an ice cream parlour. We have very few shops selling guns, because the rules are extremely strict for owning, purchasing and selling firearms in Australia. I bought a delicious ginger ice cream here. Somebody who saw this photo told me they were paintball guns. Who knows?
