Huckleberry Hike

This afternoon we went for a hike in Grand Teton National Park.

More specifically, the adults hiked while the kids rode.

Along the way we found some wild huckleberries. They are the size of peas and have a lot of flavor for such a little fruit. Usually I wouldn't bother harvesting something so small, but these tasty little berries were worth the effort. Yum.

Our destination was a lovely waterfall. We found a rock nearby where we could eat lunch and admire the view, then we headed for the ferry landing to catch a ride back. Joy said the boat ride was her favorite part of the outing.

Our final stop of the day was the Bar J Chuckwagon in Jackson Hole, where we enjoyed a hearty ranch dinner (take my advice: spring for the steak), and great entertainment by a quintet of singing cowboys. It's hard to say which I enjoyed more--the biscuits or the hilarious song about Noah's Ark.
