Day 41 - The Grand Tetons. I thought this would be a boring day. I’d heard of Yellowstone and the Tetons but no one explains what’s there. I suppose they want to keep it a surprise as I was wowed when I headed from the Wind River Reserve to the Western town of Dubois. I began to see massive stone rising from nowhere. I wondered why there were no Vista Points (lookouts) off the highway as I took forest roads to get a closer look. As I came over Togwatee Pass I realised why as the stunning Tetons poked the sky with their piecing sharp peaks. The range impressed all those who passed by. The grazed land and Snake River making a truely breathtaking scene. This land was purchased by John D. Rockefeller and donated to the National Park. Thank god he did as it both needs to be protected and I need a place to enjoy lunch 👌 I headed around the Southern end of Teton Pass as no road can pass directly through. Behind the tourists and sluggish RVs I headed to Ashton where the grocery girl corrected the way I say ‘meat’ and saw the local collage Husky’s playing football. I headed to camp outside the wheat fields and down a dirt track that was labeled Mesa Falls. I found and excellent campground perfect for bears but lacking bear storage. I took a risk and cooked well deserved and succulent pork chops as I’ll hit Yellowstone tomorrow morning and pray the bears don’t tear my bike apart 🤞 I’ll find those falls tomorrow
