One of the things we wanted to do with the two younger kids was ride the bike path in GTNP. Monday afternoon (7/28) was the perfect day for that. We parked in the Taggart Lake parking area and biked the 4.3 miles to Jenny Lake. We found a nice swimming and snacking spot on the lake and everyone cooled off. As we approached the Taggart Lake parking area on our return, we saw crowds gathered and knew a moose had been spotted. It was a cow and calf. Good excitement - enough, in fact, that both Connor and Margaret opted to continue the bike ride with Corbin out to the gate. All in all, they biked 11.4 miles! I drove the truck to pick them up outside the gate. We finished the outing with an ice cream treat at Hungry Jack's General Store in Wilson.
The park does have crowds, but it sure is nice to get over to see the Tetons from the east side. It's pretty spectacular, really. We've done this bike ride a number of times through the years; this was Margaret's first time riding her own bike (last time we did this, she was on the trail-a-bike). She was very excited to do it and very proud of her accomplishment.
