Well, this is appropriate for me, since I just returned from a vacation to Teton National Park.
Now, I've seen a fair amount of this world in my day, and the Tetons still stun me. True, I've never seen the Himalayas or the Andes (I hope to see at least the latter one day; they're on the ol' bucket list.). I have seen the Swiss Alps (and the German, French, and Italian Alps, to be specific, but only the Swiss Alps apply here), and I can most certainly say that they are the most stunning mountains I've ever seen.
But the Tetons are second.
These glacier-carved, towering mountains are incredibly jagged and rugged. And they're HUGE. FREAKIN' HUGE.
Really, these photos don't do them justice. But I assure you that they fit this week's theme.
Here are a couple of peaks seen from the gorgeous Jenny Lake.
And here's a view of the Tetons in the distance over an elk preserve and Jackson Lake (farther north than Jenny Lake).
Huge mountains, glaciers, pristine lakes, and fields of wildflowers in purple, yellow, and white. Wow. If it weren't for the thousands of people there with us, it would've been a truly magical visit.
Folks, if you travel but have never seen Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the Tetons just beyond it, you really need to consider going. I've been a fair number of times, and this area just never disappoints.
