Road trip to the Tetons a couple of weekends ago. The campgrouds were still closed but we stayed at Colter Bay. You can camp in the lower parking area during the winter months for a $5 fee. All facilities are closed but they keep the bathrooms at the visitor center open. Hot and cold running water, flush toilets and a clean bathroom!
We saw a momma grizzly and 3 cubs when we came in on Friday night. They were hanging out near the Oxbow and we were hoping they would still be in the area the next day. As it turned out they hung around all weekend digging for grubs, pocket gopher stashes and playing in the open fields near the road.
We got up early to take sunrise images at the Oxbow, one of my favorite places. Spent most of the day watching the grizzlies and got some good sunset pictures. Did lots of exploring and enjoyed the SMB. The weather was great, sunny during the day and cold nights. It was a great weekend.
Some images of the rig, the local animals and the mountains:

It was a great weekend. Can't wait to get back.
