Day 1 of our adventure began in the Grand Tetons. While on the highway, winding our way through the countryside, we saw the sign for the National Forest and when we went around the corner, I saw some of the most breathtaking sites. Mountains reaching for the skies, a sky that was bigger than I would ever see in Indiana, and a view and altitude that took my breath away. Trees that seemed like they were reaching for God. And that's what we should be doing. Reaching up for God. We, in and of ourselves, can never reach God just like those trees will never reach the sky. But they never stop trying and neither should we. Never stop reaching out to God. And God will reach down to us and bridge the gap that cannot be bridged by us. But I digress... :-)
We walked about 7 miles around Jenny Lake, which is about in the heart of the Tetons. It took us about 4 hours to make this trek up and down a very rocky terrain. By the time we had finally made it all around the loop, we were done ourselves. A short drive back into Jackson, WY and finding a motel were on the agenda. Tonight it's a good rest and headed up to Yellowstone for the next 2 days.
Not a man made sound to be heard at Jenny Lake.
