ESP Day 12 - Getting To Grow Ventre 28Jul19

I headed south out of West Yellowstone then east across Teton Pass into Jackson to get to my final campsite at Gros Ventre CG near Grand Teton NP. It was Idaho and potato territory most of my way on the spud paveway but I did directly pass the famous spots on Henry’s Fork - including the fly shop Trouthunter, who “make” my favored fluorocarbon tippet - really they import it from Japan and package, brand and distribute it. When in Montana, I restocked some beer and found anyone can sell beer but few sell good stuff - and when they do they focus on Montana brewers. This Summit Dog DDH DIPA from Outlaw Brewing was pretty good. Anyway, coming in from the west to GTNP was interesting; I’d never seen the range from the west. Teton Valley was pretty nice and likely a lot more affordable than Jackson. if you squint & zoom you can see the top of the Grand Teton above my bike at the campsite; not bad but not Jenny Lake.

Though it's all about perspective as the campsite shot from another angle shows I'm in ghetto 2.
