Back to SLC


Dropped the Logans at the airport and took one last spin through Jackson before heading south. Not much to report, but a pretty drive through some desolate and spectacular country. Travelled through the Targhee and Bridger National Forests. The latter, judging by the number of trucks, trailers, and tracks is a favorite with the snowmobile set.

The photo above is a view of the large elk herd at the National Elk Refuge just north of Jackson. They supplement the elks' diet during winter months, which is why you may be able to see a tractor driving near the herd.

These elk antler arches mark the four corners on the town square in Jackson. There was a similar antler structure spanning the four lane road through the town of Afton, WY further south.


Mountain goats taking advantage of the warmer weather at lower elevations.


There is something quite extraordinary about driving through this vast, sparsely populated countryside. Sorta gives you all the time and space you could ever need to pause and think a spell.


Traffic jam, southwest Wyoming style.


Whole lotta nothin'



Tomorrow Salt Lake.

Cheers!
