Okay, so today my darling wife wanted to go see the back side of the Grand Teton Mountains. To do this we traveled north through Idaho and then into Alta, Wyoming. We got to the turn and everything was pretty nice for the first 200 feet. It was a paved road. The next 4 or so miles were gravel, dirt, potholes (too numerous to mention) and one of the roughest roads I had ever been on. About 30 minutes later we got to the end of the road and looked at the view. We both agreed, it was not worth the jostling we took. So we turned around and spent the next 40 minutes or so praying the trip to be short. We finally got back onto the main road and proceeded with our day.
There was one place in the Tetons National Park that we did not explore yesterday so we went back today. It was Mentor’s Ferry. It was a short hike to tour several buildings and the ferry itself. Mentor started the ferry to cross the Snake River to Jackson Hole. It was neat to see how the ferry used the river’s current to go across the river.
Once we finished our tour, it was time to grab a bite to eat and check out a local brewery. We went to Jackson, WY to the Snake River Brewing. The food and beer were both good, After a relaxing dinner, we headed home to prepare for traveling the next day.
