Flagg Ranch, Wyoming, to Jenny Lake, Wyoming -- 37 miles


We woke at 7:30 am, later than usual, and began biking at 9:45 am. As we entered Grand Teton Park, we met up with a few of the Adventure Cycling group who we had been riding with for a number of weeks. As we rode into the park, we could see the Teton Range in all its magnificence reaching for the sky. 


We stopped at Colter Bay Village to have lunch. As we continued biking, we met Willem from Netherlands who was heading east-to-west. We camped at Jenny Lake because of Willem’s recommendation. We took a boat ride across the lake and hiked up to see Hidden Falls. The crystal clear water, supplied by the Teton glaciers, fell about 150 feet in a majestic rush. 


We then walked 2.5 miles back to camp. Lorraine rushed to cook lentil stew, because of threatening thunderstorms. Fortunately, they passed us with no rain at all. We camped and talked with a retired electrical engineer from Jupiter, Florida, who had biked here and was taking photographs of moose and bear.
