Teton Village - looking up Rendezvous Mountain29th May, 2009 Jackson, Wyoming.
Well up and at it this morning, out to Teton Village and a Tram ride up to the Rendezvous Mountain Summit and Corbets cabin, The Tram is a Very large Gondola capable of carrying 100 people, climbs up a vertical rise of 4,139 ft in 12 mins, and what a spectacular view, has to be one of the best. Looks down on the Snake River, Teton village, over to the Snake Mountains and to the Grand Teton range, Absolutely brilliant and they named one of their mountains after our grandson "Cody Mountain". At Corbets cabin (named after one of the first Patrol guys) they have a coffee/lunch bar, the guy up there was very interesting, knew the area well and was only to pleased to answer our questions. The peak is 10,000+ feet so pretty high up, we watched the Para sailers and watched one guy ski down some pretty steep slopes.
Off down to the Grand Teton National Park where we came across our first ever Moose, mother with a calf grazing quite happily in the river, heaps of other tourists there, quite an attraction. Then on to Lake Jenny where we went for
bit of a walk and out of the trees come a yearling Moose, a playful one at that, played in the lake and ran up and down the bank - normally they are a quite animal. Put us all on notice that he was the boss when he headed for the bridge we were on, but never came through with his threat. At this stage we returned to camp as we were headed out this evening.
Went out to Bar J Chuckwagon Ranch which has a Supper (dinner) and Western Show, a great evening was had by all, the meal was delicious and the entertainment fantastic, it is family owned and is a part of a larger Ranch. Two of the entertainers are owners/brothers from the ranch, the others all work on the Ranch by day.
