In celebration of Mothers' Day, the DrsC took a day trip from our WY home up to Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. We hoped to see the currently famous grizzly bear, named "399" and her four cubs who are now over a year old. In that hope we were disappointed, the ursine 'Jackson Five' didn't put in an appearance.
The mountains are snowy this early in the season, and the park wasn't crowded. A number of the facilities were not yet in operation. Upon entering we were warned the road north to Yellowstone NP was still closed - no surprise. We were told it will open on the 14th, which is Friday.
There's a good bakery in Jackson - Persephone - named for the Greek goddess of the underworld. They make a bread that's almost as good as that any local bakery in Europe turns out routinely without fanfare. We bought a couple of baguettes and ate one for lunch.
Last year Teton County and Jackson were gonzo about mask wearing, this year it is relaxed in practice though I believe the ordinance is still in force. We had supper at our favorite burger place in Jackson, Liberty Burgers on Cache Street. A burger, fries, and a soda there are tasty and will fill you up. Their onion rings look spectacular but the flavor isn't exceptional, compared to Outback's bloomin' onion.
Driving home along the Snake River canyon, we mused that, without consciously planning to do so, when our NV place is complete we will own homes near two of our favorite national parks - the Tetons and Zion.
