Sabbatical Day 13/Grand Tetons

This morning we left Yellowstone National Park and headed for the Grand Tetons. The Grand Tetons are mountains that shoot out of the ground instead of gradually coming to a point. The most beautiful mountains are the ones that reflect off the lake. The mountains are all still covered with snow and we were told there were avalanche warnings.
We ate lunch in the shadow of the Grand Tetons beside a river. After we ate we took a short hike along the water’s edge. The river water was crystal clear; you could see all the way to the bottom. We all wished we could sit and watch the river forever.
Right now we are staying at a hotel in Utah on our way to California. It will take us three days total before we arrive in Fort Bragg, California, but we are all excited to be near the ocean and to be warm again.
