Taggart Lake

Our second hike this morning before the thunderstorm, was to Taggart Lake in Grand Teton National Park. This was a 3.3 round trip hike. Gorgeous!
There were some gorgeous views of the Tetons from near the trailhead.




A bridge goes over this pretty creek in the forest.
Part of the trail goes through aspen trees.

Another view of Teton Peaks as the trail continues.

Lakeshore Trail at Coulter Bay

We drove to Coulter Bay in Grand Teton National Park this morning to hike the Lakeshore Trail. This is a double loop trail of 2.5 miles in length. We did a figure 8, going clockwise on the first loop, crossing to go counter clockwise on the second loop and then finishing the first loop clockwise.
At the start of both loops is a sign warning of activity of a bear with cubs. We did not see any bears or evidence of bear on our hike.
View from near the far end of the first loop.

We were in the woods for the first half of going around the second loop. Pano view from the shore.

The Tetons are such dramatic peaks!
