Seeing Red

We went to the Tetons today. These mountains are great gray craggy rocks usually covered with snow. It's getting late in the season, and the snow has melted, showing even more gray.

Instead of taking the usual road to the mountains, we took the lesser traveled road to Kelly and Gros Ventre. A mere 20 mile diversion, but the change in scenery is dramatic. Instead of the great gray mountains there are rounded red mountains. Not nearly as tall or dramatic as the Tetons, but just as lovely.

As we continued down the road, we arrived at a crystal blue lake, Gros Ventre Lake, created after a quake dammed up the river of the same name.
