Here or There

On our last full day in the Tetons, we got up early to go out looking for a moose. We knew that people are most likely to see them in the morning along one of the rivers in Jackson Hole, so we drove around and stopped at a couple of places to scan the edges of the trees. We didn't find a moose. It was a pretty morning though.

Then we headed back to the cabin to have breakfast and get ready for our hike the rest of the day. On the way to the trail head we saw some people by the side of the road looking at something. We'd seen people doing this the whole time we were there, and from the road, you can't always tell what they're looking at, or if they can see anything at all. We pulled over to join them and we saw a moose! Actually it was a female moose and a baby moose! They were pretty far away and hard to see, but equipped with binoculars we did pretty well. I have a fuzzy moose photo up on flickr that you can see if you want to click over.
