Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park

Though I'm behind on the posting, we had a wonderful day in Jackson Hole a few days ago... the town is super cute and we really liked Grand Teton National Park. A friend of ours lived in Jackson Hole for six months and gave us some great suggestions, including the first hike of the day: Taggart Lake.

How gorgeous is the view?!
We followed the loop trail around, and halfway through enjoyed some time along the beautiful Taggart Lake:

Next we headed over to Jenny Lake, where we took a ferry across the lake. From there it was just a short hike up to see Hidden Falls:

Rather than riding the ferry back, we decided to take the path around the lake back to our starting point. The craziest part of the trip is when we crossed paths with a man who warned us that there was a moose on the trail up ahead. Though a bit scared ~ we had heard that they're very protective of their space ~ we were also excited, since we hadn't seen a moose yet. We were looking around as we walked, thinking it might be in the woods, but we turned a corner and HOLY COW there was an enormous moose head in the middle of the trail. Bigger than I would have imagined it would be: as a sense of scale, according to Wikipedia, a male moose stands 6-7 feet tall at the shoulder. Unfortunately, the only picture we got was of its backside as it walked into the woods while we passed, so sorry we have nothing to share!
