Will we see the Teton Mountains if we get closer? Not today.

Nibbling Moose
Our second moose nibbles just across the road from the dinning hall.


Yummies in our tummies
Where is the dining hall you ask? It’s right across the road from the moose.


Circle the map
Gather ’round the map. So where are we in relation to the Tetons?


Uplifting rock
Our instructor demonstrates how the Teton mountains were made.


Shapes in the snow
A small stream slithers beneath the snow. We crossed this stream on a narrow foot bridge.


Shapes in the snow, too
The snow makes some amazing shapes.


A little climb
A short climb doesn’t slow down the troops.


Snowshoe the landscape
Snowshoeing through the landscape is a feast for the soul.


Picture that
What is there to take pictures of? Look in any direction.


Digging a snow pit
The snow has a story to tell. But you have to do a little digging. Wait; is that the sun up there?


What can we learn from snow?
Once the pit is dug, and the snow begins it’s stories, you have to listen. The students collected data for later analysis.
