Friday 7th October

After snowing heavily last night while we had the most wonderful 5 course dinner (included in our package - apart from tips and drinks), by this morning it was melting fast and the sun kept trying to appear. After breakfast we drove around by Jenny Lake for some wonderful views of the Tetons 

before driving towards Jackson airport and around back to Jenny Lake Lodge. We also drove up Signal Mountain to a lookout over Jackson Lake and Jackson Hole (the valley).

At 2pm we were booked to go horseriding (also included) for 90 minutes. It was cold so we each had 5 or 6 layers on - I felt like Michelin Man but I was nice and warm! There were four of us and two wranglers (girl cowboys/hands). One guy had not ridden before and, before we set out, his horse decided to roll and went down on its haunches before rolling his back vigorously on the ground. Luckily he got off in time so no harm done! Our horses were very staid in comparison, thankfully, and just followed on, without us needing to give much direction. We rode past String Lake to Leigh Lake and back again with some lovely views and through beautiful pine forest.

By the time we got back the sun was out properly and we sat outside our cabin enjoying the view and the warmth.
