Day 33- Grand Teton National Park

This morning, I woke up tired and I slept in a little bit, even for me. But up and at’ em i was eventually.

Today I was hoping for an easy day. Only 40 miles to Coulter Bay campground.

First, I had to leave Yellowstone NP. It was only 22 miles to the south entrance. Along the way, I unceremoniously crossed the continental divide for the 6th time. No sign. No nothing. You only knew by looking at the map.

I had lunch at the Flagg Ranch Resort just outside of the park. After lunch, it was a bit of a climb but then into Grand Teton National Park.

While Yellowstone NP has amazing geology and scenery, Grand Teton has majestic mountains!

The mountains tease you! They are an amazing sight from afar, but keep getting better as you get further into the park.

As hoped for, I arrived at the Coulter Bay campground around 2:30 and parked the bike there for the day.

I took a swim in Jackson Lake, enjoyed a very cold beer at the bar and then had dinner. All before 6:00. The short day was necessary after the last two days. I think I am back on track now. Time will tell.

  2. Glad everything is going well! I picked up my bike from the shop today. So now it is fixed but still no green light from the doc. Hoping I’ll be cleared by August. Can’t wait to ride again! Enjoying the blog 🙂
