This camp site and park definitely deserved a second day. It was the first place where we thought it had it all. Splendid views at every turn, fresh mountain air, and we felt relaxed.
We had a RV breakfast and then headed off for Jenny Lake. We thought we’d check out some of the shorter hikes. We settled on a hike to the Hidden Falls. They have pontoon boats that take you across the lake to about a half a mile from the falls. The boys really like the boat ride and it made a very do-able hike, since it was all uphill on very rugged terrain. The falls was great; it was so cool and inviting. We stayed and rested and watched the falls for awhile. On our way back down the trail, we spotted a deer just off the trail. I got some really good pictures of it and we’re surprised it didn’t run off; must be used to us humans by now.
The boys had peanut butter sandwiches for lunch and Michael and I tried to have a nicer lunch at Jackson Lake Lodge. The food was mediocre and we probably should’ve just had peanut butter.
The boys were clamoring for the lake by the time we got back to our site, so I obliged. They took their goggles this time and Trenton was the first one in and tried them out. He declared it “weird” to see underwater at a lake. The sun was blazing hot and there were a lot of other swimmers in. They stayed in for almost an hour, before I made them get out because of cold and sunburn! (Which I didn’t want!)
Dinner was for the boys, since Michael and I had had a late lunch. We rode our bikes up to the village for ice cream and treats, and then came back to our site for a campfire. The boys had fun playing near our site with flashlights and lanterns. They invented new games and even talked another camper into playing with them.
