Ever lose your thoughts while gazing into the flickering flames of a campfire? I can assure you that staring at the Grand Tetons mountain range is just as relaxing and thought releasing as gazing into a fire. This is my third time visiting this area and I am never disappointed with nature's awesomeness. One of the better aspects of the Grand Tetons is how spread out it is and as such, feeling encircled by other people is somewhat avoidable. This park is a driving type of park. So in order to see it, one needs to traverse big areas and walking between the sights is not practical, unless you have a lot of time. There are boats on the lakes to ferry you to and from, when cars aren't available. We loved how there were plenty of well maintained bicycle paths for the non motorized visitors. It was definitely the way to get around if you don't want to drive. In fact, most of the bicycle paths that we saw were relatively flat and completely segregated from the highway, making them both safe and quiet. The biggest issue we had while visiting this park were the clouds of mosquitoes haunting our every step. I guess swarms of mosquitoes go with the territory at these latitudes, so bring bug spray.
