Howdee all.,
Sept 14th Jeff, sicksta Charlene her husband Tom and I took a very nice hike around Two Ocean Lake. ..an area of the Tetons that doesn't get as much hiking traffic.
But before we get to the trail…we stop for…
photos..of the Tetons 
clouds..and the Tetons
Awesome Orange trees in the distance
I don't know what they are….but they make a nice backdrop to the thistle…
and lookie here…I get lucky
The natural lake is 2.4 miles A 6.4 mile trail circles the lake passing through groves of Aspen and conifers.
The name Two Ocean also refers to nearby Two Ocean Pass which spans the Continental Divide and where a small stream splits into two distributaries named Pacific Creek and Atlantic Creek that flow toward different oceans. Two Ocean Lake is on the western side of the divide, and only drains into Pacific Creek, which flows to the nearby Snake River.
We hiked Grand View Point, which added about 2.5 miles
The start of the hike…
Distant Teton views..
And..more droplets..couldn't help myself…
The path crosses a large field of grasses and wildflower seed heads
The field had an interesting patch of green that mimicked the rounded patch of shrubbery in the back
Ahh…Teton Views
Zoomed in View…
We walk thru woods..
I notice a tree …different
Bark off and resin showing
Autumn shows its colors in the dried grasses and colorful foliage
We are almost across the northern half of the lake…
The northern half of the lake has the most scenic views of the Tetons
But the southern portion of the hike also quite beautiful…
