Jackson Hole...God's Country

I never cease to be awed by the raw beauty of the area around Jackson Hole, especially the Tetons. These photos were taken during a brief stop-over enroute to Cowley, Wyoming for the Pioneer Day celebration on July 26, 2008. Our route to Cowley via Jackson was through Idaho Falls, Idaho, East and up over the mountains, dropping into Jackson from the West. This is beautiful drive this time of year, though one must use care crossing the mountains because the road is very steep and winding and it is easy to over-heat your brakes coming down (we did..kind of scary!).

This is where Wes and I spent our honeymoon!

I wish I could have been in Cowley to help celebrate Pioneer Day. I sure miss my grandparents and being in that loving and warm home of theirs. Hope you had a good time! Your pictures are beautiful!

We have been there many times and rode the tram to the top of the mountian...so pretty. We also went the year the park was on fire. We were taking Shon to college and you could not see a single bit of the mountains because it was so smoky. We bought a shirt that said...Charred Rock Cafe.
