Leaving camp a bit late, for our first full day in the park we filled it with seeing as much as we could. We decided the best way to view everything would be to drive the big park loop.
The first stop we made was at the Moran Mountain overlook where a bunch of cars were stopped alongside the road and everyone with a camera or binoculars were enthusiastically watching a momma Grizzly bear with her 3 cubs. We managed to snap some photos (from a far distance) and continued on.
We cruised to Jenny Lake, which was where we were originally supposed to camp, and we’re baffled to see the big piles of snow and then the frozen over lake. Glad to say that we were a lot less cold where we were camping instead! We checked out Oxbow bend and saw some bear tracks and quickly got out of there.
Later in the evening we decided to make dinner to go, packed up everything in our Target bag, and headed back to the famous Ansel Adams Snake River photo spot for a sunset dinner. Chili and cornbread warmed us up, and the sunset left us in awe. I’ll just let the photos do the talking for this one.
