BUFFALO VALLEY ROAD: MOOSE

Scenic drives abound in the Grand Teton National Park area, including the much loved Buffalo Valley Road. This long stretch is just outside Moran and though it is not paved in all sections, it is a great route when searching for scenery off the main highway.

The drive follows along the Buffalo River, heading through to the Teton Wilderness and the park. Varied trailheads are found along the route, which stretches some fourteen miles.

About 9 miles into the trip I came around a curve with a small hill to my right. Before I could stop and grab my camera two juvenile moose bounded up the hill pass me.

I safely turned around to head back to see if I could spot them. He was crossing the road and the other moose was now hiding in the woods.
