Saturday (6/6)  We are in the Grand Tetons and the visibility is very low as it rainy.  Driving through the park we are unable to see the peaks of the teton range but the view with the snow on the mountains and the clouds sitting right on the mountain is spectacular (see picture.)   We were on the look out for animals and saw elk, pronghorns,  buffalo, pelicans and many birds.   The bear and the moose are not ready for us to see them yet -  I guess they are shy but we will keep looking. 

We went down to Jackson in the late afternoon.   We have always heard of Jackson and Jackson Hole but didn't know if they were the same or different.   Well, Jackson is the town and Jackson Hole is the valley- now we know!!  Jackson is definitely for tourist with many expensive shops and a great deal of art work for sale.   You could buy all the expensive cowboy hats and boots you would every want.  

We had dinner at the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill in the historic Wort Hotel.  The bar got its name for the 2032 Morgan silver dollars that are imbedded in the bar top.  The Wort Hotel opened in 1941.  It was a dream of the Wort family to build a luxury hotel in downtown Jackson and they did (see picture.)  Many famous people have stayed there.

In the evening we went to the Colter Bay Visitor Center for two talks by a park ranger.   Both talks were very informative and interesting.   The ranger who gave the talks has worked at this park for over 30 years and it was evident that he just loves it.
