We woke up very early to get sunrise photos of Mount Moran from the Oxbow Bend Turnout. I didn't think the sunrise ended up being as spectacular as it could've been, but we each ended up with a few awesome photos.

After breakfast, we rented mountain bikes and rode from Moose to the Jenny Lake Lodge and back. I highly recommend this relatively short bike ride to anyone visiting the park. It is the best way to see the Tetons from the park road, for sure!

A late afternoon thunderstorm put a damper on plans to go for a boat ride, but I did get some amazing photos of the storm (and its lightning) from near Jackson Lake Lodge.

We capped off a full day with a nice dinner and, later, a campfire. Later at night, we got to see the International Space Station streak across the night sky.
