Grand Teton National Park Ride: June 2015

SpudRider · 07-10-2015, 02:33 PM

I took a two-day ride to Grand Teton National Park in June of 2015. I rode my new Zongshen RX3, and had an opportunity to test my Catoma Lone Rider tent.

The weather was great, and I enjoyed a very good time.

Here are some photographs of my Zongshen RX3 on the route east to Jackson.

After arriving in Jackson, I rode through town and set up camp in Grand Teton National Park. My Catoma Lone Rider tent worked very well.

Looks like a good trip, Spud, thanks for posting the report and pics...

SpudRider · 07-10-2015, 02:44 PM

The next day I went riding along the Teton Range, and captured the following photographs.

Here are a few photographs of the tallest peak in the range, Grand Teton, and its largest glacier.

If I could, I certainly would.

Spud, I hope you realize how blessed and lucky you are to get to have done / seen all that! :-D Awesome! ! ! ! By the way, one of those pics is now my desktop background on my computer at work!

Beautiful pics as always Spud! Love the mountains

.
I can see the tent strapped in front of your topbox, but where do you keep your sleeping bag, air mattress, etc? Very clean pack job, you must be liking the side panniers?

SpudRider · 07-11-2015, 01:27 AM

Thank you, Stew.

Everything easily packed into the luggage, with room to spare. Indeed, I love the stock panniers.
