Oh Captain, My Captain


"O Captain, my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weathered every rack, 
the prize we sought is won..."


With due apologies to Walt Whitman, I've never doubted my Captain/Princess once (OK, well, maybe once). Teton National Park is about the view. And as you can see, our adventure was highlighted by a scenic cruise around Jenny Lake. 


If you go, it's worth the money. And while you're at it, do lunch at the Jenny Lake Lodge - both the food and the view are incredible.  




The Tetons are quite simply the most "in your face place" you'll ever go. The peaks tower more than a mile above you, with the tallest topping out at over 13,800 feet. The closer you get, the more unbelievable they become. 



And while you're here, take a spin up to the top of Signal Mountain. The views of the valley below are fabulous.


While here, we had the opportunity to stay at Teton RV park near Moran Junction. To tell you the truth, it's probably on the "Motel 6" side of a KOA. It's sort of a combination Gas station, RV Park, Food Mart and Grill, carved out of the corner of working cattle ranch. Never-the-less, the views were still incredible.
