A long time ago with the girls when they were kids we took the tram ride to the top of one of the mountains in the area. We decided to do it again.
The building that you start at and get on the tram – it goes up to the mountain in the distance that you see in this photo:
Some of the view at the top:
We were about half way up the mountain when another tram is coming down – this is the top of that tram:
More of the mountain at the top:
This sign gives you the information – I don’t think they it is normal to have up to 100 people on these – maybe in an emergency? There were barely 25-30 on the ones we were on and saw others arrive and depart with the same. We knew it would be cold and windy at the top and we had jackets with us. It was 56 degrees but the wind made it feel like 30 or so. Some people came up with tank tops – shivering here thinking of what they must have felt like – ice cubes perhaps!
To the very top:
Today we saw 4 more moose and got photos of two of them. Will post those later, I need to get the photos from Mike. I took some too – but well you see there is a difference between a telephoto lens and a Nikon Cool Pix 
a big difference! I will show it to you later.

What a stunning view in such sunny weather!
I’ve been working on a few New York Beauty blocks and the Mystery Quilt. 
We thought of going to the coast south today, but there’s been local showers and strong wind the whole day…

Beautiful photos again Karen, I think a trip to Jackson Hole in the future may be in order!

I think it would be pretty scary to have 100 people in one of them. But then I think it would be pretty scary to ride in one at all!

Oh My! How stunning! A definite for hubby and me to visit! Thanks for sharing! Keep them coming! We feel like we’re there! Teri
What fun! Your photos show what a beautiful place it is and I want to visit there too!
56 is chilly, but nice.
Can’t wait to see more moose photos. Keep having fun. We’ll be waiting to see what you’re doing.
Wow breathtaking scenery!! Silly vacationers to go up there in tank tops, they must have been from the flat states LOL.

The capacity sign is more applicable in the winter. This is a very popular ski resort and it stays very busy. Looks like you had a nice chance to enjoy your stay around the Tetons! Love all your pix.
