The Tetons

There are no words to describe the Grand Tetons. There is beauty in every direction. A place I would return to in a heartbeat. In these mountains, I learned a lot about me. I am terrified of heights. My camping neighbors told me to be sure not to miss the inspiration point. Thus, I went to see the destination. About halfway up to the top of the mountain, I had to argue with my primitive brain that was telling me you have gone far enough, a picture from here would be acceptable. After all, no one would know you didn’t go to the top. Then the big cerebral cortex entered into the conversation, telling the primitive brain that was trying to keep me safe that I was indeed on solid ground. After a few moments, the cerebral cortex won the argument. But I hugged the mountainside of the trail to the top. It wasn’t much – just a 400-foot ascent in less than 1/2 mile. Enjoy inspiration point and the photos from other areas of the Tetons.

Look very close at the tree on the top of the hill. That is Inspiration point.
My amygdala did not want to go. But thank goodness for a cerebral cortex.
The view was beautiful.
Inspiration Point!

The scary trail!!!!! And you can’t even close you eye!

Signal Mountain – I was certain there was a historical story about Indians and settlers. Boy was I wrong but the view was extraordinary.

I feel so sorry for the sailboat owner. Such a shame to have a boat on such cold water. Actually, can you say jealous!!!

The Tetons from various places on the road.

The famous Mormon Row Barn.

And of course there were flowers.

Where the bison roam? Any where they want. Can you say Bison traffic jam? One day they decided grass was greener on the other side of the road. Hope you brought a good book – there were a lot of bison that wanted to cross the road and they did not yield to any car.
