Today will be a day of bike riding in Grand Teton National Park. The weather is looking a bit iffy though. The forecast? I don't know. Now that's typical of my trip planning, or lack of planning. Oh, I'll be fine.

My ride starts out crossing the Snake River followed by a quick meet-and-greet with the South Entrance to Grand Teton National Park. I've brought my National Park Annual Pass with me. To get in all I have to do is flash my pass and drivers license. The National Park Pass is such a great deal if you're planning to visit many National Parks. I think the break-even point is something like 3 parks. So far I've used it at Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, and now here in the Tetons.
