Lower Green River Lake

This view, where the road end and the trail begins, is far remote from man’s creative ability. L to R are White Rock, Square Top and Porcupine Mountain. Square Top rises 3,713 feet above this celestial body of water. Seven active glaciers and eleven “Grand Canyons” make up its never-failing water source. Its longest tributary begins at 13,785 feet.

We’re having fun in Jackson, WY, skiing and snowshoeing, etc! There’s a big storm today, though, so we finally had time for postcards.

Take care! Love, Barb

Hi

Here is a friendly creature that would like to play with you! We have seen a few elk and a bald eagle but not bears. Probably just as well!

Love, Tim

Grizzly Bear. The grizzly is a threatened species within the contiguous 48 states. Omnivorous, they feed on plants, small mammals (mostly rodents), large mammals and carrion. Standing 3 to 3 1/2 feet at the shoulders, the adult male (boar) will weigh 500-1000 pounds while the adult female (sow) will weight 225-550 pounds. The grizzly varies in color from black-brown to straw-yellow and may have light tipped guard hairs that give a frizzled appearance. Breeding occurs from mid-May to mid_July and young cubs, weighing 12-16 ounces, are born in January and February. They emerge from the den with their mother in April and May. Grizzly bears are the most fierce and dangerous of all bears.

Grand Teton is in western Wyoming.

Dear Noah

There aer four of these arches, at each entrance to the Jackson town square. Made entirely of elk antlers and quite large. Not sure why the town did this but it is impressive in a weird sot of way…

Love, Tim

Arch of Elkhorns. On the old town square in Jackson, the Arch of Elkhorns creates a symbolic entryway to the Grand Teton National Park.
