Season Finale



Cabin Office closed today, all the guests have departed, all the other visitor services have closed as well. I will be helping another department for a few days and will be heading south by the end of the week.
Aspen trees are turning yellow in certain areas. I have heard a few Elk bugling in the distance. Bison are acting frisky, snorting and rolling in the dirt.
The last adventure of the season was a paddling trip. A co-worker and I launched kayaks just below Jackson Dam and paddled the Snake River south to a well-used take out location. The Snake is a one-way river, as the current is strong. We left her car at the take-out area. It was a beautiful morning, with the willows and bushes in Autumn dress. A Bald Eagle flew from a tree on the river's edge, over our heads and disappeared into the forest. The water is so clear I could see fish swimming near the bottom.
........The adventure of leaving WY has yet to be written.
Photos of the north end of Jackson Lake, and a surprise encounter with 2 Sandhill Cranes near Spaulding Bay.
