Floating Down the Snake River – Jackson Lake Lodge, Wyoming

Sunday July 15th, 2007

Sunday was an official day off for the Udall Legacy Bus Crew; however, we carried the legacy of Morris K. Udall with us as we ventured around Grand Teton National Park. We had the opportunity to enjoy some of our country’s most beautiful public lands.



Some of us went canoeing on Jenny Lake, others hiked, a few went horseback riding, and several of us took a float trip.

Melissa Millage, Bret Muter, and I enjoyed the early morning float trip out of Jackson Lake Lodge down the Snake River.


Was it gorgeous? Yes.

Did we see wildlife? Pronghorn, bison, birds, and a little baby chipmunk.

Did we get to help steer the boat? Yep…. It is a lot harder than it looks!

Did we take lots of pictures? Of course!

Did we eat great food? The trip included a BBQ at the end… Yum 

In the afternoon, several of us went on another hike to scout out trails for Parks In Focus. It was a wonderful day for everyone. Several of us even spotted a few black bears. Joel Prive, our driver, came back to the lodge with sun burned knees… evidence of his exciting canoeing adventure. What a great day.
