A trip to Jackson is always so incredible. We decided to take the vanagon and go to Jackson for the weekend to get away before fall got away. With the dry temps and drought this year all the leaves are well on the way to turning color. With rain and ? snow predicted at the end of the weekend we figured this would be a great time to go. We spent friday night driving their, arriving at about 11:30 and parking in a road turn off to sleep. Then got up early on saturday to eat and start touring. As you can see we timed the color changing pretty well and saturday was 
perfect temperature wise. After making a loop of the park we decided to head back toward town and camp out Gros Ventre road. We got settled in and rested then went off to run. I started about 2 min after Karen when I met her coming back to the car after 0.1 miles and she was breathless telling me to get the cameras because a monster moose was at the entrance in a small strand of trees. As you can see this was the largest moose that I have ever seen. The antlers on his head must have weighed 200lbs. When he stood his back was easily taller than me. Impressive. They stayed for the rest of the weekend in the trees, mostly lying down, much to the flock of photographers standing in the field dismay. After a windy drive home we hurried to edit pictures and see what we got. For the weekend, lots of great colors, mtns, 3 moose, tons of antelope, deer and fun!!
