Saturday was not the typical summer day in Grand Teton National Park. Friday night we went to sleep to the sound of raindrops landing on the roof of the RV. We woke up to a winter, yes, winter wonderland of sorts. The ground was covered with a dusting of snow as these pictures will attest. The first picture is of the road in front of our RV with snow on the fence.
Our Honda Fit is covered with snow and ice and we don't have an ice scraper!
We showed the view below about a week ago when the mountains formed a spectacular backdrop behind the store. Well, on Saturday we didn't see the mountains--all day. The roof of the store is covered with snow but no footprints of a fat guy in a red suit or his four-legged friends.
This last picture, which could be found on Hallmark Chistmas cards in December, was taken at about 10 a.m. from the store window looking towards the Jenny Lake ranger station. Beautiful!
Even with the off and on snow showers, we sold almost $100 in hot beverages, but only 4 hot dogs on the day. Not exactly an ideal day for hiking or bike riding, let alone camping in a tent. The campground at Jenny Lake only permits tents, no RV's permitted with hard sides (motorhomes, trailers, etc.). That day, we had a run on hand and toe warmers, stocking caps and wool gloves - no surprise there!
