Gros Ventre Gravel Grinder

Our last ride in Jackson Hole


Fitzgeralds recommended this ride as well.  It's an out and back that you can do for 45 miles up the Gros Ventre river valley but we opted for 20 miles because we wanted to do a little shopping before we left and we had to pack out bikes, too.
 

It was a much colder day, especially with the wind coming from the west.


The views from within the river valley were breathtaking


Looming behind us was the omnipresent Grand Teton


The Gros Ventre River was crystal clear


The gravel road was much better than what we rode in Idaho


We even saw some Elk



At 21 miles in we stopped for lunch



Just east of us there was pretty big ranch



Turning around there was a bit of head wind but since we were heading down hill it was offset



On the way back we stopped at the markers for this huge landslide the took place almost 100 years ago





An incredible force of nature


Last view of the Tetons
