Variety is the spice of life, but sometimes you travel the same place twice.
My family loves Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Lake Lodge. We visited there in 2007 and had our first encounters with elk, moose and bison, as well as drank in the lodge view daily with awe. It is still just as majestic a view, even if we are much more familiar with wildlife now. We had to visit one more time and really soak it all in.
Our trip was full of watching mountain sunsets, searching for wildlife, river rafting and hiking.
