    Loved the “Dad” joke! But those are technically Pronghorn. Antelopes are in Africa. And YES to Jackson Hole! Amazing country and you’ve inspired me to go ride there! You should check out the LoToJa race/ride. Happens every sept. Logan Ut to Jackson Hole. 205 miles. Amazing ride with lots of climbs.

    Welcome to my neck of the woods! My wife and I love riding in Grand Teton National Park. There is a ride out of Victor called Around the Rock which is put on by Fitzgerald's Bike Shop that goes all the way around the Tetons and it's phenominal! The mountain biking off the Teton Pass is amazing as well. I'm lookimg forward to watching the next video about the Teton Pass KOM but I hate that climb!

    What do the Tetons mean?
    They called the mountains “Les Trois Tetons,” or “The Three Breasts.” The Grand Teton-the tallest of the three-literally means “the big tit.” The Shoshoni name for the trio of mountains is less crude, translating to “hoary-headed fathers.”Jun 15, 2012
    What does Grand Tetons mean in English?
    big breasts
    Other adventurers followed in Colter's footsteps, including the French-Canadian trappers who gave the mountain range the bawdy name of “Grand Tetons,” meaning “big breasts” in French. ...
