We had another decently early morning as we waited at Jackson Lodge for our float trip to start. The lodge’s huge gathering room is stunning, complete with ginormous windows framing The Grand Tetons. The kids and I had some coffee while we waited.
We shared a van of about 10 people and were put into groups for the rafts. Sharing the float was a lovely family of 4 from Massachusetts and a couple of friends on vacation together.

Our brave river guide
Our guide was hilarious and knowledgeable about the Snake River and wildlife around there. We spotted Eagles and Osprey. Bison and at the very end a moose! That was on my bucket list and he was just lazing by the river.
To my kids dismay, it was quite the peaceful trip. Not fast moving white water. I’m pretty sure they felt gypped because when they heard “we’re going on the river,” to them it meant “we’re going white water rafting.”
We all had fun though, met some sweet people and saw beautiful scenery and wildlife.
~Enjoy the journey!
