Mile 4095 - Grand Tetons, WY

So how many of you have been to the Grand Tetons?  And how many of you have been there when there was a photo shoot going on, complete with blond model and British photographer saying things like “oh yea, just like that darling! Marvelous!”?  Well we have!  We are dying to know in which catalogue the photos are going to appear.  Sarah’s guess is J. Crew, Aaron’s is Delia's.  What is yours?

Oh yea, and the Tetons were cool too.  We wanted to experience all the glory that the Tetons had to offer.  But surmised that unlike Glacier, there just aren’t any great day hikes here.  For backpackers, it promised some seriously awesome 3-5 day adventures.  But after spending 4 full days in Yellowstone already, we felt the need to save this for the next trip.  We have been told by backpackers that the best views of the Tetons are from the highway.  But don’t miss a dip in Jenny Lake because as you can see, it is picture perfect.
