The Grand Tetons

The vastness of the mountains in Wyoming can be compared to the seas we have traveled.  And just like I am awed by the vastness of the sea,  the beauty and majesty of these mountain ranges remind me of the power and strength of God.



The Tenton Range is a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains.  The east slope of the range is in Grand Teton National Park which is where we spent much of the day.  

There are four marina options in the Grand Tetons National Park.  We found Leeks marina to explore on Jackson Lake.  There were several boats at anchor at Leeks--I suppose that is because this is not a marina in the typical sense with slips and a wooden dock.  When one is ready to board a boat, a smaller shuttle makes a quick trip to the boat at anchor so all can board.  




The dock master told us that boaters do ski in these lakes, but most wear wetsuits because the water is so very cold.

I had to stop at the Chapel of  the Sacred Heart on our way to Jenny Lake.
