Adele and I on our own.

Adele and I had to sadly say goodbye to Dianne and Lorraine early Tuesday morning.  They were headed back to Sarasota leaving Adele and I on our own to continue exploring Jackson Hole.  A bit of rainy fall weather has rolled into town, so Adele and I enjoyed a few hours in the Craig Thomas Visitor Center of the Grand Teton National Park.  The visitor center is relatively new and does a great job of educating visitors as to the history of the park and surrounding area.  When the rain cleared, Adele and I headed off to hike the Black Butte Trail.

After completing the hike, Adele and I did a bit of driving around in search of Jackson Hole wildlife.  Now that the fall temperatures have started to drop the animals are moving around more and starting their  migration to the valley.  There is a lot of animal activity right now.
