It was still pretty smoky in the mountains, but we ventured out for an early afternoon drive. We covered a lot of the same area we had visited a year ago (only three days), but it was still good to re-acquaint ourselves with the area. In the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center we bought a photographers guide that showed precisely where the iconic photos of the park could be found along with additional information like time of day and suggested camera settings. Can't wait to study it and see if we can capture some better pictures!
A view point along the Jenny Lake drive provides a nice view up Cascade Canyon, but the harsh midday sun and the smoke kept the pictures from capturing the real beauty of the park.
Of course, the midday sun and temperatures in the low 80's meant there was virtually no wildlife viewing, unless you want to count ground squirrels and chipmunks.
