Yellowstone! – Day Six Wednesday August 25, 1999

We decided to try looking at the Tetons again.

First we headed towards Teton Village, a small ski enclave near Jackson, at the base of the Teton range. We took the arial tramway to the top of Rendezvous point (10,000+ ft) and looked around at all the crazy places where skiers will try to kill themselves.

There is a magnificent view of the Tetons and Jackson Hole from the top. Even in the summer, at this altitude, the wind was cold as it blew off the glacier of the nearby Grand Teton.

After coming down, we headed to the hamlet of Moose. Along the way we saw a bull moose along side the road who was being very photogenic.

After eating pizza in Moose, we stopped by the National Park visitor center, where we discovered that it was Founders Day: the anniversary of the founding of the National Park Service and the 49th anniversary of the opening of Grand Teton National Park. They even had free admission and cake for all the visitors.
