For breakfast we sought out The Bunnery in Jackson, Wy. On a lovely morning they had inside and outside seating and a long line of eager customers.
Inside you could make purchases or sit down for dining.
Having to pass by these display cases on the way to your table was anticipation building.
They even had dessert taken care of.
After breakfast, we returned to the Jackson Visitors Center to thank Steve and Sara for their suggestions of ways to discover Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons. They're volunteers from the east coast every summer.
While the air was a little smoky, the sights were spectacular, even on a second viewing.
We went to Jenny Lake to take the shuttle boat across the water to the trailhead.
It looked like a good activity choice would be sitting on a rock dangling feet in the inviting water. We could see the trout swimming next to the boat at the dock.
On the far side of the lake there was another dock available for the return trip.
We walked up to Hidden Falls, emphasis on the UP. Janet decided to try a hiking stick (ski pole) loaner.
Beautiful scenery along the way.
Rapids as the water rushed into Jenny Lake
Lots of bare rock, reminiscent of the high Sierras
First view of Hidden Falls.

It was a good day - we forgot our hats so this was from Eddie Bauer in Jackson.
Tried a little video - stick with the stills
A favorite posing place
This is a great place to take a hike - the views are always changing, dominated by the high mountains.
Fences need to be really sturdy in snow country.
Waiting for our return ride.
We spent the afternoon driving west and south down the grand canyon of the Snake River. Our destination was Thayne and its famous cheese factory.
We found the Cheese Factory, but they no longer produced cheese.
The clouds were kind of gloomy over the place.
Not too popular.
Gloomy extended inside where one could purchase some locally produced cheese, ice cream, and fudge brownies. They said they hope to be back in cheese production soon, but they're worried about there being enough production capacity to make a go of it.
Star Valley was a lovely, storied place with a lot of agriculture and, for a town of 340, a brand new school and church.
