It Must Be Fake

Day 3 meant we were headed to Grand Teton National Park.  We expected it to be beautiful but holy cow!!  We were in awe!!  Beauty in every direction you look.

All we could do is say that it looked fake.  It looked like a painted backdrop.  And just like the Grand Canyon, photographs do not do it justice.  This one is taken from a spot called Oxbow Bend.

Seriously, it must be fake.

We stopped at the Jenny Lake Visitor Center before beginning our planned hike around Jenny Lake.  On the ranger's recommendation, we decided to hike to Taggart Lake instead.  She said that it was a spectacular hike during this time of the year.  And she was right.

After about a mile - as we were coming out of a thicket, we came across some mule deer, three does and two babies.  They didn't seem to feel threatened by us and continued to mosey along their way.  The oldest of the does made her way around to our backside which didn't make us feel very comfortable so we went on our way.

Soon we had made it to our destination - Taggart Lake.  It was every bit as beautiful as the ranger had said.

Since it was starting to get late, we had to head on our way.  We had another 2.5 miles to go to get back to our car.  And that was when it happened.  Woody saved all our lives......
