This last Monday we returned to the Grand Targhee (pronounced Tar-gee by the real natives, not Tar-hee, like so many seem to think!) Resort. We had planned on riding their chair lift a previous day but were dissuaded by the $10 parking fee (because of the Music Fest)! We decided to try again and were sure glad we did! What a view from up there!!
Billy having a great time. He loved the incredible views and the fast, quiet, smooth ride.
Not too good a picture (with just my point & shoot), but there's the Teton Valley yawning in front of us.
Me and the B with the Tetons behind us.
Yup, time to go! We went up a little late, not realizing the last chair down was at 4pm (seemed very early in a place that gets dark at 9pm!). So only had a few minutes at top.
Ride over.
The GTR.
Back in the town of Driggs, down the hill from the resort. This guy looks to be one of the landmarks.
And we had to try a huckleberry shake at the Driggs soda fountain. Hmm, mistake. Should've driven back to Victor's soda fountain shop! Victor's claim to the world's best and most famous huckleberry shakes is now undisputed in our experience! We can vouch for the veracity! Not even comparable. Bill knew we were in trouble when he saw them scooping out huckleberry ice cream instead of just adding huckleberries to vanilla ice cream and milk! Let's see,..it's now about a 2 or 3-hr drive back to Victor...but we're here for several days yet so could still make the trip a few times!!!
