Thursday was about traveling to bask in the wonder of the majestic Tetons. As I planned my trek, it was an accident that I discovered these beautiful, jagged mountains would be on my course.
Along the way, I traveled beside the Salt River. It is one of my little joys to see small streams that wander along the road or across a field, often missed by the average traveler who is looking up at the horizon rather than noticing one’s immediate surroundings.
In a little town called Afton in Wyoming, there is the ‘World’s Largest Elkhorn Arch.’ Imagine my surprise to learn there was a competition. I must learn, one day, where the second largest elkhorn arch is found and see what must be done to elevate their game.
I did reach the Tetons and fairly early in the day. I sat in amazement on several occasions and just stared at their grandeur. I was pointed to an old cabin with a porch where I could rest and enjoy the scenery.
Below are a few more of the MANY photos I took that day. Also, there is a short video of the great bonus I experienced from the porch where I settled — there are marmots in Wyoming. I cannot express my excitement for this discovery. I spent a great deal of time watching them be amazing.
