Days 7-8--When we drove into the Grand Teton National Park on Monday afternoon, the clouds hung low in a steely sky, eventually releasing rain. We drove along the spine of the mountain range to our campsite in Coulter Bay. Since it was raining, we decided to rest and read for a while.
When the rain stopped in the early evening and the clouds lifted, we decided to drive back along the range, to Jackson Lake and Jenny Lake. Just a few of the 12,000-foot peaks were visible.
At dusk, the clouds began to break up, and the sun peeked through. We returned to Jackson Lake and watched as the oranges and reds of the setting sun lit up the clouds and silhouetted the mountain range. It was as if God were showing off. We took these photos with only an iPad. You can imagine what a really good camera and a powerful lens would have captured.
On a sunny Tuesday morning, we traveled back to see the Tetons against the backdrop of a blue sky and full sunlight.
Then at Jenny Lake, we experienced a miracle of sorts. Read the next post to discover what it was.
