Out of Yellowstone and south to Jackson Hole. Three nights in a fancy hotel sounded very good to us after being off the grid for 3 days. The Lodge is a very nice place to stay. Lincoln said the pool looked like Hawaii. The town itself is a very swanky, clean town with a ton of little shops. When we first got there we ran to get some supper then it was back to the hotel to swim and catch up on all things wifi. The next morning was the 4th and we were up early to get to the town square and enjoyed a community breakfast of pancakes and sausage. There was a local band that played the National Anthem and the whole town stopped and stood in respect. It almost sent a chill down your spine with how cool it was to be there at that time. After breakfast, there was the town parade which was quite impressive. A little different, but fun. They threw out ears of corn and popsicles. Then it was off to do some local shopping, which was enjoyable. We even did the Old Time Photos that we had a blast doing. Straight faces were harder for some than others. 
Back to the hotel for supper, then a walk to the edge of town for some very good fireworks. The next day June 5, we went to do some hiking in the Grand Teton National Park. 
The first trail was to Hidden Falls which was .6 of a mile. Remember we are at approx. 9k feet and hiking up a mountain. We made the hike easily and the view was incredible.
Back down .6 of a mile and we were still pretty full of gas, so we decided to tackle the 1.3-mile hike up to Inspiration point. It was labeled as aggressive, but we were confident in our ability to walk 1.3 miles up and 1.3 miles down. WOW, so you know, 1.3 miles uphill at elevation takes about an hour. We started out looking like pro’s with the backpack and pep in our step but about 30 minutes in we were getting pretty gassed. We passed an overweight younger guy and asked how far we had. He said, “where you going?” We said “inspiration point”, to which he said, “not far, bout a mile.” I thought Good Lord and asked if he had made it. He said “yes” that he had passed it not long ago, followed by “I have been hiking for 5 days, started out at devil’s hole, and am ready to be done.” The Reiss’s were ready to be done at .3 of our 1.3 trek. We hammered on and finally made it, but we were done with hiking for the day for sure. Swimming then supper in town at a great steakhouse called Local. Tomorrow we get up and start heading a new direction, South. No plans for the night, so we will stop when we feel we have made enough progress for the day.
RV There?
