Then there are other grea places in the area: Jackson Hole, The Tetons
For those with the ability to camp out, and able to find a place in the campgrounds on the lake shore, being up in time to watch the first glint of sunrise on the Teton's peaks is worth the entire trip. It's magical. Especially if there are clouds of mist hovering over the lake at sunrise, which there usually are in the summer months. Jackson Hole has, OTOH, has grown too big for its britches - like so many of the year-around resorts in the Rockies.
The fiirst time I saw those majestic peaks was by a full moon & though it's been several decades.........I still have those pictures forever in my memory!
Song would have loved it .......was a Harvest full moon........AWESOME!
JDTH..........have a super trip! Enjoy the cool - it's heading back to 109 just as you guys escape the Valley!!

Thanks Joyce. Say hi to Pete for us. I can't believe it will be 112 by Friday. I guess we timed this trip right. It is getting into the 30's at night at some of the places we will be heading.
Is it really here? Is it really time for our vacation? Stick a fork in us, were done. It was a rough ride to get here, but now it is time to enjoy.
I will put some pictures in a new album as we go, if I get the chance.
I love the Tetons (most photographed mountains in the world). I'm not sure if we wil make it this time.
A good trip for you JDTH, be safe and have alot of fun.
Where's Future Trooper? Not a member shows up on his profile.
We made it to Kalispell, not quite like we planned it though. Arrived at Phoenix airport yesterday morning only to find out our flight had been canceled. Not a good start to our vacation. Southwest did reroute us and we arrived in Spokane a little late. Our 3 hour drive from Spokane to Kalispell turned into over a 5 hour drive because of some really bad advice from the counter guy at Hertz.
Looking forward to today. We should be in Glacier in an hour or so. We only have about 80 miles to drive to. We will take it nice and slow and hopefully I will take some decent pictures.
No Future Trooper! Members are dropping like flies!!
LOL, somtimes things like that happen for a reason and though it's not funny when it happens, you'll soon be laughing about it.
Tomorrow will be a better day. Have fun.
OH WOW~
KALISPELL - then Glacier
you guys are living 'large'
take lots of fotos!!
It is so gorgeous up there!

Sounds like your trip got off to a bad start, but now you can unwind and enjoy the rest of it.
We're going on a little trip on Sat. Started out to be a motorcycle ride within hub's work, but alot of guys said they didn't have motorcycles (us included) so other vehicles are welcome. We're headed north to Las Vegas, and making a big loop I guess, going to Taos, and many other places I have yet to see. I cannot wait. Cameras are ready to go!
