schwabacher landing

 

While reviewing my Yellowstone trip images, I came across this forgotten gem. (I really need an improved process management system!).  Schwabacher Landing is on the Snake River (a few miles from where Ansel took his photo) is in the Grand Teton National Park.

Mormon row

 

Although this may look like the little house on the prairie, it is actually one of the homesteads on Mormon Row, a historic settlement near the Grand Teton National Park.  It is touted as " a popular destination for photographers with the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background.  We were denied the sight of snow-covered mountains -- just the heavy clouds with rain drops falling on our heads.  (shot with my phone from the shelter of the bus)

how great thou art

 

The Chapel of the Transfiguration has no need for a stained glass window.  The window behind the altar frames God's creation.

chapel of the transfiguration

Framed by the Grand Tetons, the Chapel of the Transfiguration is a functioning Episcopal church with seasonal services.  The tiny chapel was built in 1925 on land donated by Maud Noble and was constructed so that the early settlers would not have to make the long buckboard ride into Jackson for Sunday services.

aspens

 

After several gloomy days, our last day in Wyoming was magnificent .  Gray skies gave way to brilliant blue with white clouds -- the better to showcase the glowing aspens.

snow on the mountains

 

After three days in Yellowstone (no wifi!) seeing the sights and experiencing rain, snow and hail, we returned to Jackson on a glorious day with new snow on the Grand Tetons.
