Photo dump of our trip to Grand Teton National Park. The Teton range was created through tectonic uplift much like the Sierra Nevada range and both share majestic granite spires. The lack of foothills makes the Tetons striking from every direction. We visited three of the glacial lakes at the base, Jackson, Jenny, and String Lake. We hiked to Hidden Falls above Jenny Lake, did a loop around String Lake, and took a 9 mile float trip down the Snake River, spotting several bald eagles and a dozen beavers. I considered attempting Storm Point (class 4 west face), but didn't find a hiking partner and didn't want to try it solo. The rest of the time we were hunting for wildlife, getting shots of a momma moose and calf, an elk herd, deer, river otters, and a grizzly(!).
