We stayed 5 nights at Gros Ventre Campground in the Grant Teton National Park. We had no hookups (no water, electric, sewer or generators). This was a real test for our new setup. Our batteries and propane worked out great. We took an RV ride for a couple of hours in the middle while running our diesel generator. With this quick dive, we were able to dump tanks, fill water and fill our batteries.
Gros Ventre (pronounced ‘grow-vont’), means “big belly” in French and was a very nice national park. The Teton Mountains were fantastic. Pictures do not do them justice.
We hiked a lot and got great exercise. The hardest was the Taggart Lake and Bradley Lake Loop for 7.5 miles.
We went to Rendezvous Park and saw the Mama Mimi Sculpture. Pam dropped her phone into the river, and Kelly fished it out and it survived! We also ran across a mama moose and her cub.
We went to Mormon Row to see the famous barns and buildings. I think we go a classic photo of the most famous barn.
We bought a day pass to ride the Gondolas at Teton Village. We rode up the major gondola and had waffles for breakfast above 10,000 feet. We rode another gondola up a different mountain and hiked most of way back down. Finally, we went back up in the evening and had pizza and beer for dinner.
