We made an overnight stop in the little town (population 75) of Boulder, Wyoming where we finally saw a beautiful sunset.

We went down to Oxbow Bend on our first night here because years ago that was where we saw a moose. We did see pelicans, Canada geese and some elk but no moose tonight. Who needs moose when we can marvel at the reflection of these incredibly beautiful mountains.

One never tires of looking at at the mountains in the Grand Tetons.

Here in the mountains, we tend to see an alpine glow rather than a sunset.

Because of the drought everywhere, we haven't been able to have campfires but here in the Tetons they were allowed. The sun doesn't set until after 9:00 so it gets dark really late!

I guess there is one large herd of buffalo here in the park and as we were beginning our tour today we got into a buffalo jam as part of the herd decided it had to cross to the other side of the highway. When this happens, you just wait for them to cross!

The Teton range make an incredible backdrop for a picture.

Crossing the bridge over the Snake River we had our first moose sighting!

This rustic Episcopal chapel was built in the summer of 1925. It is built of lodgepole pine with pews of quaking aspen that was cut in the valley. Above the altar is a large window framing a view of the Teton Range.

Jenny Lake was gouged out by mountain glaciers and is some 200-feet deep.

After almost a full day of rain yesterday, it was nice to see this spectacular mountain range under the sun and blue sky again today. Off we went to take the road to the top of Signal Mountain to see what we could see.

The indian paintbrush here on Signal Mountain was redder then we'd ever seen them before.

The higher we went the more profuse were the wildflowers. We had never seen a thistle like this one before.

This is evidently a type of aster. I have never seen such delicate narrow petals as this flower had.
