Wyoming, Part 3


Daisy, mountain dog!


Trout in the "rise" of the Popo Agie river in Sink's Canyon



The Grand Tetons


Pheasant outside lander




Sacajawea's grave.


We've had a busy couple of days! I spent yesterday in the Lander area w/ friends and went to a museum in town (really great museum of the West). Then we drove into the Wind River Indian Reservation and to the site of Sacajawea's grave (although many dispute that this is not the site). Then we went to Sink's Canyon and drove to the top of the mountain. At the bottom is where the Popo Agie River sinks into the ground and rises about 1/4 mile away.

Today we drove to Jackson, WY. It was only about 17o miles, but there was road construction, and of course we had to stop at most roadside markers. I also took a small dirt road up the side of a mounatin from where I got great views of the Tetons. Daisy got to go mountain climbing. We drove through part of Grand Teton National Park, and it is beautiful! The mountains are incredible. We'll spend all day tomorrow in the park, so more details to come then!
