After getting a campsite and setting up at the Gros Ventre campground, not far from Jenny Lake, we took the shuttle boat across Jenny Lake to a day hike that goes up Cascade Canyon. Super scenic hike. Plenty of people, but I don't blame them.

The dock/landing area where you wait for the shuttle boat across the lake.

Yellow tape was for COVID distancing.

John masked up and on board.

There were actually 2 boats that went back and forth across the lake. It wasn't a very long trip, but it was fun and scenic. Not too expensive.

Tetons getting closer.

I'm guessing these 2 fellows are in the service.

Lots of people here. Fewer people the farther up the canyon you went.

Austin with his yellow pack headed up the canyon. He's a pretty speedy hiker, so John and I hung together while he went ahead to take pics.

This was a seriously beautiful place.

Some people we met warned us that there was a big moose by the trail ahead. Sure enough, there it was.

IMG_20200828_150020864.jpg
Indeed big.

IMG_20200828_150037946.jpg
John wasn't trying to get near it, but it abled on over to John. I think he was pretty nervous at this point.

IMG_20200828_150107051.jpg
This was my view of the moose for a while. Lots of people were watching it.
