Mount Moran
Our first stop was the Oxbow Bend of the Snake River. Here we got our first glimpse of a moose. I took a few pictures, but the moose was so far away, they are not very clear. We also saw some otters playing on the bank of the river.

Our next stop was the Jackson Lake Dam. The dam raises the level of the lake by 39' and then exits into the Snake River.

We then took the Signal Mountain Road to the top and got some great views of Jackson Hole Valley, the Snake River and the Teton Mountain Range. There was a controlled-burn going on in the Bridger-Teton National Forest east of the park.
Our next stop was Jenny Lake to see the Hidden Falls. They have a shuttle boat to take you across the lake, but we arrived too late.

Our final stop was the Chapel of the Transfiguration. From here you could get some great shots of Grand Teton Mountain.

On the way home, we picked up one cache at a roadside pullout. This was a unique hiding spot...pvc pipe placed in a bored-out hole with a reflector.
The whole trip was 275 miles and took 12 hours. I think tomorrow will be another slacker day.
