Winter in the Wild West

Greetings from Wintry Wyoming! We're here for almost 3 weeks and it has been a beautiful week #1! On our day of arrival . . . behind Moose Point Lodge -

Moose tracks in the driveway!

Trumpeter Swans behind the House -

Moose Point Lodge from Fish Creek -

Doing a little cross country skiing -

Check out this beautifully groomed tract!

Can you spot the moose?

Out for a drive -

Spotted a moose, but not a great shot. So, after a quick photo we moved on.

We made our way along for a little while, when Don decided to give that moose another shot. Unfortunately, it was no longer in the creek. Don spotted tracks in the snow heading up over a bank and down the road. He tracked that moose until we found it in another spot. Much better shots!

They have collared this moose to help track and study the moose in our area.

Heading back home we saw a mama moose -

with a baby bedded down in the snow.

We took the Gondola up to the top of Snow King and had great dinner at a new restaurant, Aurora.

The view from Aurora -

Great food, atmosphere, wine and service. A great new addition to our options in Jackson!

Heading back down the Gondola -

National Elk Refuge Drive -

Big horn sheep ewes check point along the road -

Back at home later that day, we had a young bull moose laying in the walkway Asa had shoveled down to the hot tub!

The following day, our favorite twins from last year came by to say hello. They look amazing! Didn't see mom, but she is doing a great job getting these two ready for life on their own.
