We woke at first light in hopes of seeing wildlife in camp / by the river - well actually because the cat woke us - but we were up quite early. Alas, no moose or bears or dear.
We rode our bikes around the campground perimeter hoping for a sighting. Apparently Spring and Autumn are better. Our plans to moto to Moose and Bradley Lake were thwarted after checking the weather and finding a forecast of rain for the upcoming two hours, that combined with sprinkles and thunder. So, rather than drive the truck, we decided to wait the rain out, reading instead.
Two hours later, the roads wet, with a blustery wind, we packed up the camper and headed to Jackson. We hit a few mountaineering shops and walked the length of town, appreciating the local architecture along the way, to the Snow King Mountain ski area and had lunch at the beautiful Stillwest Brewery and Grill. We sat out on the second story deck directly across from the ski slopes.
Next visit, we’ll hit the mountain for the zip line, bobsled, or mountain roller coaster.

A light sprinkle, but mostly sun made us optimistic and we headed to the Craig Thomas Discovery & Visitor Center in Moose. What an amazing structure! Beautiful architecture, a bold, enormous fireplace, and lots of great information. Metal strips in the floor pointed out through dramatic slanted glass windows, continuing on the patio outside. Each metal strip pointed to a different Teton peak with the name and elevation stamped in the metal.

We headed towards Taggert Trailhead to hike the 2 hours to Bradley Lake - and then it started to sprinkle again so we turned around.
We had a relaxed evening back at the campground listening to thunder, and enjoying sporadic rain while sipping wine with tapenade and cheese.
