A tall mountain range + a 50's diner

Onward to Grand Teton National Park, we checked into Jackson Lodge and had a casual dinner at their 1950's diner - called the Pioneer Grill. It's more Dick Clark, than Lewis & Clark.


The walls and counter are posted with pictures from the beginnings of Grand Teton Park and thick, rusty tools hang on the walls. Of course we don't know what these tools did, so they were nice enough to hand out a typed description of each tools' purpose, whether it be farming, or trapping animals, or dealing with the copious amounts of snow.


The diner itself is upkept very well and the laminate counter snakes through the space as one continuous tabletop.


Eric ordered a bison burger, fries (which didn't compare to those in Idaho), and I had a salad with roasted poblano chiles and grilled chicken. Iced tea was pretty decent, considering.


After dinner, we went outside on the landing, and caught sunset over the Tetons.
