We spent the first full day in Colter Bay setting up camp and exploring all that this area has to offer. In the first photo below, you can see that Jackson Lake is still covered with ice.
Here is a view of the docks at the Colter Bay Marina. Can you spot the gas pumps on the dock? The marina opening has been delayed until June 10.
We celebrated with a nice dinner in town at Snake River Brewing Company with our former managers at the Jenny Lake Store (last summer's job), Ron and Karen.
On the way back from town, we spotted over 500 elk in various herds along the highway. It was dusk so the chances of spotting wildlife are better during their feeding time. We don't remember seeing more than a few elk in 2010. In the first picture below, you can see just how much snow is still on the Teton Mountains on May 21. In the last two pictures, you can see that the fence along the road does not keep the elk in the fields.
Because of the late arrival of spring, no elk calves have been born yet.
