Day 40: Jackson to Colter Bay

Total mileage: 65

What a perfect location for a church. Shepherd of the Mountains is both aptly named and beautifully located. It was a treat to wake up with this view out of these elegant windows.

Alix's future place of work (Teton Science Schools outside of Jackson)! Everyone was super nice, the campus is beautiful, and we are both excited for her fall adventures here. We took a roundabout path back to Moose so as to experience something different.

The view from the upper deck of a restaurant in Moose! Recommended to all if you visit (no need to buy the food, though, since it was crowded)


Peach something and a margarita (not amazing drinks, but the view and the wifi made up for it)


After walking barefoot down a sandy path, we went swimming here after lunch

Different lake! We swam out to that rock you can see poking above the trees. It was chilly, refreshing, and excellent.


After our swim and mandatory sprawling in the sun, we rode up the road and over to Colter Bay. We had tentatively planned on continuing on to another campground after a grocery shop, but by the time we'd shopped and chatted with a family of bikepackers (on the great divide mountain bike route), we decided it made more sense to stay at that campground. Luckily, it was too late to pay for a site, so we just pitched our tent in the grass by the bathrooms, and shared a neighboring family's bear box.
