Nothing worse than bumbing into a sow and her cubs.

He saw the woman, looked around in some confusion, then saw the kids. He looked back and forth between the woman and the kids a couple of times before recognition set in. "Holy Cripes, I'm between a mother and her cubs!" He left the campsite in a full, rolling gallup.

Amazing stories of three bear sightings. Most people are lucky to see on on the next ridgeline over, if at all. Thanks for the pics. Awesome stuff! |

Driving the pass at night in the winter wasn't a ton of fun, so we usually cruised back to Victor or Driggs for dinner.
I'll keep that in mind when I get back to Jackson though. I've got my fiancee talked into moving west, so we're heading out to check out Salt Lake City for our honeymoon in November. With any luck, I'll be living out there by this time next summer, and making weekend trips to JHMR and Grand Targhee when they get a good powder dump. |

When your heading to Driggs from Jackson, there was a little pub/grill at the bottom of the pass. Do you know the name of it or if it's still there?
Also, Bubba's BBQ is a good place....or was. |
