I took a four day jaunt down to Grand Teton National Park and took a nice three day tour of some of the glacial lakes at the base of the Teton range and Two Oceans lake in the Northeastern part of the Park. Day 1: Two Oceans Lake and Hermitage Point The first day started out very bland and overcast with threats of drizzly doom intermittent thru-out my hike around Two Ocean's lake. The whole day ...

Day1: Clouded Range

I like how the light travels thru the clouds onto these moutnains.

Day1: Self Portrait

Taken on the way to Hermitage Point by a nice tree stump, who really knew how to compose the frame.

Day1: View from Camp

This is the view over Jackson Lake looking right at the Grand Teton from the Hermitage Point Campsite.

Day2: Sunrise and the Tetons

Good Morning World!

Day2: The Canoe Incident

This is why I ended up not taking the Canoe...

Day2: Tetons from Signal Mountain

This is the view from ontop of Signal Mountain, which has a nice auto road to the top.

Day2: String Lake Boulder

The Glacier decided to leave this Boulder in the middle of String lake.

Day2: Lodge Pole Valley

Day2: Bridge

A neat little foor bridge over String Lake. Almost all the bridges I encountered in the park were built like this. The larger ones had larger cribs, but I don't think they had rock in them to keep them weighted down.

Day2: Teton from String Lake

Day2: Teton Range from String Lake

Day2: Resting Marmot

There were like fifty of these things running around and playing in the boulder fields.

Day2: Dead Tree in a Dead Pool

Day2: Dead Stump

Day2: Water Bars at Work

Five Water Bars in a Row YAY!

Day2: Water Bar

Day2: rock stairs

Actually the rock is being used as a retainer for the dirt. Not a bad idea, especially if their aren't large enough rocks to be step rocks.

Day2: View from Camp

This is Mount Moran from Camp 15 on Leigh Lake.

Day2: Camp on Leigh Lake

Another view from camp.

Day2: Where's Luke

This was supposed to be a picture of me standing in the lake, but I tripped right before the picture was taken.

Day3: Leigh Lake Reflections

It's amazing how well this lake acts as a mirror.

sweet ass pictures!
Hey Lukester, those are some crazy cool pictures you have there. That looks like it was an incredible trip! I think Erik and I will definitely have to try to get through there on our way out this summer.... See you in a couple months! P.S. Can you imagine trying to tie that canoe onto the Aspire? Aw, RIP little periwinkle car....

Much more beautiful then our painting!!
We have a print of a painting above our bed, with a plaque with "Teton Lake" and the artists name (Robert Wood). We decided to google it, and your blog/pics was the first result. Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pictures. My fiancee now definately wants to make it down there!
