Grand time in Grand Tetons National Park

We arrived late into Grand Tetons National Park (can't remember what day! maybe August 9??), in time to see the sun setting over the mountains and to have a late dinner of soup heated on the propane gas stove.  Then settled into 2 nights in an old fashioned tent type cabin in the park.  The cool night turned into a warm sunny day, and we hiked around beautiful Jenny Lake, at the foot of the Tetons, and up to "Inspiration Point."  The rocky, snow-capped Teton range are truly majestic.  Saw a little pika on the trail, but no bear (maybe Reid's bear bell scared them away?!).  That evening, we skipped stones into Lake Jackson and swam a bit in the cold water, as the sun set.  Peaceful.  Next morning, a highlight for me was kayaking around the lake, as the Tetons towered above us.  Loved it!
