07.06.10 Dubois, Wy - Teton National Park: Colter Bay, Wy

07.06.10
Dubois, Wy - Teton National Park: Colter Bay, Wy
Miles: 70
Sleep: hiker biker part of the park

Today we were shuttled across two different areas on route 26/ 287
(totaling about four miles). The road work was too bad for bikes to
pass. We saw a group of about 60 cyclists going east. We got to camp
after a nice 30 mile up hill and 40 mile down hill. We were slightly
nervous about bears because we heard camp fire horror stories. There
was a "bear box" at the camp site that everyone used to store food and
anything a bear might be interested in. So far no bears bugging us!
The temperature drops drastically in the mountains when the sun goes
down. It was a very chilly
night and morning. We all bundled up as much as possible.
