This is Lower Falls from the Artist's point.
Not as spectacular as we had all hoped but still a beautiful waterfall in any light.
These buffalo were moving across a small steam as they grazed. Cal pulled over and set up with other photographers on a small hill to shoot directly down on the big animals.
The sky was clouding up and would end up raining a small amount on us as we were leaving.
The 30-foot falls are downstream from Lewis Lake and are named for the famous explorer.
This is the view west as the sun sets behind Mt Moran.
This Jenny Lake Lodge was a real treat. The hotel is located near Jenny Lake and nestled in the woods. The view of the Grand Tetons peeks through the trees.

Dining is a "foodies" dream. Each evening there is a 5-course meal and the morning meals include
fresh trout and eggs or crab meat Eggs Benedict. The meals are included in the price
of the room and the service and food were first class.
In a lecture on the history of the Lodge we learned that Thistle was one of two cabins remaining from the original set of cabins built in the 1920s.
Virginia Ann signed up for a ride each day and Mary Sue was very accommodating. We went on some beautiful rides. One required us to cross a river twice and climb up a steep, narrow incline into the foothills of the Grand Tetons.
