teton

yesterday Bridget, an NP at the Old Faithful clinic, Molly - a PA at the mammoth clinic, April - the charge nurse at Old Faithful and I went to Teton for a hike. Bridget wanted to do the Taggart and Bradly lakes hike. It is about 4.5 miles round trip, but we went further around the lake so I am thinking 5 miles.
Right at the bottom of the trail there was a mama moose and her little baby. Can't see the baby in the pictures as it was kept well hidden. THIS, folks, is a moose.... 

does it look like an elk??... 

....no it does not!

So we begin the hike at the base of the Tetons, which, in my opinion, are the most spectacular sight ever. 

It turned out to be a bit of a hot morning, which was so nice as we have been very cold here. I even got some sun on my pale cheeks. No, I don't have a picture of me. I promise I will at some point. 

 April and Bridget chilling on a wooden bridge on the other side of Bradley lake. Yes, we had our bear spray!

April is pointing to an osprey ... I didn't get a good picture as I didn't bring my big lens.

Good hike and we got to see this little snake...

and these silk worms, which kill whatever they start eating... and kinda make me shudder...

We went to eat in jackson, did our shopping and headed back up towards Yellowstone. We drove up signal mountain and got this to die for view!

as you can see the weather was starting to change... a storm was closing in ...

Then....

By the time I got back to Lake it was 30 and snowing hard! Good day!
