Grand Teton NP - Lake Jenny, Hidden Falls found by Sam
30th may, 2009 Jackson, Wyoming

Little bit of house chores to catch up on this morning and then off to the Grand Teton National Park, back up to Lake Jenny, we took the easy way across the Lake, went by boat to a point where we took the trail to Hidden falls and Inspiration Point. They are not huge walks but certainly uphill all the way. The falls are quite spectacular, up in the snow country and fed by the melt, then it was up to Inspiration Point, a great lookout over lake Jenny and the surrounding district.
Came across a small creature named something like Marma, Someone tried to tell us it was a Marmite so a little confused, but will find out. The people we asked didn't know what family it belonged to, so we are still in the dark.
Down the hill and we took the 2+ mile walk back to the Jetty we started from, lovely walk around the lake with the Mountains on one side of us.
Driving home we came across a large male moose on the river bank, photos of course.
Tonight we went into town for the 6pm shootout, started off really well and then the thunderstorm hit, and it had to be called off, shame but safety first, and we have just arrived home from the Jackson Cowboys Rodeo, a fun evening even if we had to dodge the rain drops, they have some mean bulls over here.
