Grand Teton (careful how you pronounce it!)

We arrived at Grand Teton National Park very excited about the hikes and wonderful scenery that we had read about. The mountain range consists of 12 jagged, glacier-carved granite spires which rise above 12,000ft, crowned by the singular Grand Teton (13,770ft), most spectacle when you see them. Well we just couldn't wait, until........ the sky grew really dark, there was a clatter of thunder and the heavens opened! As we are campers with an adversion to the rain and cold (the Sorrells will confirm this!) we quickly jumped back into our 'house on wheels' and headed off to warmer climates - Utah, the desert state lay ahead!
