Teton Panorama

It is amazing how perceptive children are. As we drove into Grand Teton National Park I was quiet but alert and Colin immediately understood how happy I was. He made some comment to that effect and it startled me. He understood that I just had to pull off the road and take a moment to stare at these mountains, to take yet another meaningless photograph of a mountain. Maybe it is the contrast with where we live now that makes this moment, this view, these smells, this peace, this sense of nature, this preserved space, all the more impressive.

I managed to climb back into the car to make the remaining drive south to the Town of Jackson, one of my favorite towns in the country. We had to get Colin ready for his big two-week camping adventure with Wilderness Ventures.
