Today's plan was to take our time, get up and enjoy breakfast, then drive down to Signal Mountain Lodge and Jenny Lake Lodge to see how they compared to Jackson Lake Lodge. At Signal Mountain Lodge, they had a really nice shop with local products. Signal Mountain Lodge is also a demonstration site for sustainable and eco-friendly products. They get much of their power from wind farm electricity.
Signal Mountain Lodge has a very nice bar, grill, and restaurant. We were there at 11:30 so we decided to have lunch at the grill. We had the Nachos Mountain -- delicious! Brought some back with us and Bailey enjoyed some of the chicken and ground beef. We've decided that the Grand Tetons concessionaire does such a good job we'd come back here and stay again. This time we'd eat out more!
After lunch, we drove down to Jenny Lake Lodge. On the way, we stopped along a scenic drive for some photos of the Tetons across Jenny Lake.
Jenny Lake Lodge area is very small -- the smallest of the lodges in the Park we think.
Headed back to the Twinkie and Chris vacuumed the floors and sofas, then we sat outside in the screened tent with Bailey, talking to the neighbors.
Weather today started out in the low 40s, partly cloudy. It cleared off later in the morning, although there was a brief light shower while we were driving to Signal Mountain even though the sun was out. We could see the cloud moving over the Grand Teton as it approached us and dropped a little rain. That went away quickly, and we had clear to partly cloudy skies and temps around 72 for the afternoon. Finally had a little thundershower right after sunset. Captured some interesting shots just before the rain.
