We arrived in the Tetons on Saturday night and amazingly were able to camp in the park. We went to a visitor center to get trail maps and again with the bear shpeel they tell you only here they want everyone to carry bear spray. Ok ok- We listened and got the spray and al that. So Sunday morning we are heading up to a high mountain lake called Ampitheater lake and some guy comes walking down the trail and says "Hey guys just want to let you know a couple of bears are on the right 30 seconds up the trail" So we walk 30 seconds and sure enough to the right in the field I saw 1 big ass bear. Bruce says he saw 2 but we didn't linger because eye contact is not a good thing. Sorry no pics to share- you will just have to take our word for it. We continued on with our hike the lake was amazing and these are some high peaks for sure. Monday we drove through Yellowstone and saw the old faithful complex. It was very developed and disneyworldish. Today we plan to hike a spectacular loop called Paintbrush Canyon in the Tetons. We are going to backpack and camp in Backcountry wilderness so when we got our permit we also got a bear canister. No food in trees in the tetons it must be locked in a bear safe vault.
No pics today our internet connection is to slow but I will post some soon.
