Our one planned activity was the Snake River Float. I was well prepared with bug spray, bug shirt and bug net - not wanting to be swarmed. The bugs here are really bad especially in the morning (our float) and in the evening. And then the cold - four layers topped off with a PSU wind suit. I must say that for the bugs I was over-prepared, but very cozy in my layers. The trip was amazing and our guides very informative. We saw two bald eagles. Know how to spot a bald eagle?? Look for a golf ball in a tree. We saw the lateral moraine and the terminal moraine - a result of glaciers pushing through (like your hand through sand) and then receding. After our 1 1/2 hour float we had a picnic lunch served in a wooded area along the river and then we bused back to Jackson Lake Lodge.
Since we sat in a raft all morning we biked along an eight mile dedicated bike trail to Dornan. What a nice bike trail. We stopped at an educational center and then...on the bridge before Dornan there he was - Mr Moose just sitting in the river munching on willow. By the time we got there Mr Moose had been there a while. We went for a slice of pizza at Dornan for energy to bike back and Mr. Moose was still in the water, but now standing up to better get at the willows. AWESOME!!
