Snowy Day at Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Wake up to a very cold morning. The good news weather-wise is no rain today. The bad news is that we get snow instead! Unbelievable...we get snow showers off and on all day today. I expected cool and maybe even cold weather in this part of the country but I never expected heavy snow with afternoon temps in the 30s!

It is too cold and snowy for hikes today so we take our time getting ready in our warm trailer til lunchtime. Then after lunch Joe and I walk down to the river. Very nice scenery, especially all the little wildflowers in the sage scrub.

We spend the rest of the driving around the park, with our first stop being a historical stop with an old ferry and church.

We continue our drive and stop at various places in the park. The snow gets really heavy at times, but at time the sun shines through and we enjoy some outdoor time. Unfortunately we are in the truck for most of the day staying warm. We are lucky when we stop to look at a beaver dam--some sunshine and we spot a large beaver by the creek.

As we walk back to get into the truck, a group of buffalo run across the field. I'm not sure why they are running, but it's fun to watch.

We get back to the trailer around 7pm, have dinner and spend the rest of the evening in the warm trailer playing games and reading. They are calling for snow overnight, but then sunshine during the day; so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
