...miles RT, 2 hours, 350 ft total climbing, Easy. Out-and-back trail traverses sagebrush flats and forests to a lake with views of the Grand Teton.
o Taggart Lake and Beaver Creek
o Willows growing along Beaver Creek provide food for moose. Elk graze on lush grasses and deer browse on shrubs while black bears sometimes frequent the area.
• Tras esto paramos en Teton Glacier Turnout y en South Jenny Lake Junction cogemos un barco que nos cruza al otro sito, donde haremos un trail a Hidden Falls: Si vamos mal de tiempo, este barco y trail no hace falta cogerlo, son más bonitas otras cosas.
o Via shuttle boat: 1.2 mile, 1+1⁄2 hours, 180-feet total climbing, Easy-Moderate.
o El barco sale cada 10-15 mins y cuesta 12D ida y vuelta por persona.
• Una vez volvemos al coche, seguimos y paramos en Cascade Canyon Turnout. Después giramos a la izquierda en North Jenny Lake Junction y tienes una carretera de un solo sentido, Jenny Lake Road, que tendrás que coger al noreste del lago, en North Jenny Lake Junction (así primero subirás un poco al norte para luego bajar, y volver a subir otra vez, pero no hay otra manera). En esa carretera tienes un mirador señalizado, Jenny Lake Overlook, que tiene unas vistas preciosas del lago con todas las montañas al fondo. Si el día es claro, se reflejan las cumbres nevadas en el lago, y es una pasada.
• Tras esto nos daremos prisa e iremos a Oxbow Bend Turnout, uno de los mejores sitios para ver animales. Haremos el mirador y la carretera hacia Moran. Podemos hacer incluso la Pacific Creek Rd e ir hasta el Two ocean lake y pasear por allí, según el tiempo.
o The slow-moving water of this cut-off meander of the Snake River provides habitat for fish such as suckers and trout that become food for river otters, beaver and muskrats. Moose browse on abundant willows at the water’s edge. Elk graze in the open aspen groves to the east while grizzly bears occasionally look for prey.
o Two Ocean and Emma Matilda Lakes
• Elk graze during dawn and dusk, and seek refuge from the heat of the day in nearby forests. Moose browse on willows growing along the lakeshore. Mule deer, coyotes, black and grizzly bears, martens and red squirrels also frequent this area.
• Luego vamos otra vez hacia atrás y vamos a Willow Flats Overlook, otro sitio genial para ver animales:
o North of the Jackson Lake Dam moose browse on willow shrubs. At dawn and dusk, elk graze on grasses growing among willows. Predators such as wolves and grizzly bears pursue elk calves in early summer. Beavers create ponds by damming streams that also harbor muskrats and waterfowl.
• Tras esto, en el Jackson Lake Lodge haremos el Lunch Tree Hill.
o 0.5 mile RT, 1⁄2 hour, 80 ft total climbing, Easy. Short interpretive trail leads to the top of a hill overlooking Willow Flats and the Teton Range.
o En la zona de Jackson Lake Lodge, entras y aparcas como si fueras al lodge. Sigues hasta el edificio principal, y ya verás indicado un pequeño sendero, que sale al fondo del edificio, a la derecha.
• Tras esto vamos a Colter Bay, donde también hay un visitor Center, y se pueden ver también animales:
o Sagebrush, meadows and forests provide habitat for many mammals. Deer feed at the edge of conifer forests. Uinta ground squirrels flourish in dry sagebrush meadows, while red squirrels chatter incessantly from conifer forests. Look for occasional snowshoe hares and martens. Trails lead to ponds inhabited... Leer más ...
Está claro que es lo que voy a contratar pues sale mucho mas rentable y encima mejor cubierto. Ojalá no lo tenga que utilizar pero si lo tuviera que hacer echaré mano del traductor por si mi inglés se queda corto.
Es que la diferencia es importante,si. Yo he reservado con ellos en varias ocasiones, pero por temor lo hacia con la web de aquí. Volveré a revisar los post para hacerme con la direccion inglesa y ver precios...
Tambien me voy este verano a USA...
Vamos con un bebe y recuerdo haber leido que tenia la mitad de cobertura ( creo que era en este seguro)

Hola!! En la web de UK pone bien claro que condiciones debes cumplir para poder contratar el seguro, te copio tal cual:

Es cierto que te deja contratarlo, pero el problema sería si tuvieras que hacer uso de él y no pudieras por no cumplir las condiciones particulares... la verdad es que el precio es casi la mitad que en la web española, pero vamos que tendrías que confirmar con ellos si es posible hacerlo con todas las garantías.
Lo he contratado ya. En todo caso creo que existen 3 opciones diferentes: la pagina de españa, la inglesa y la internacional. En la pagina de UK si que vi que decia que habia que residir alli; algo que no se dice en la pagina internacional.

...Rawson Square is:
2. Parliament Square
A statue of a youthful Queen Victoria dominates the square. To the right of it stand more Bahamian government office buildings, and to the left is the House of Assembly, the New World's oldest governing body in continuous session. In the building behind the statue, the Senate meets; this is a less influential body than the House of Assembly. Some of these Georgian-style buildings date from the late 1700s and early 1800s. Immediately south of Parliament Square, in a Georgian-inspired building between Parliament Street and Bank Lane, is the Supreme Court. The bewigged and begowned judges here, looking very British, interpret Bahamian law and dispense high-authority justice.
4. Nassau Public Library and Museum
This 1797 building was once the Nassau Gaol (jail); it became the public library in 1873. Chances are you will have seen greater libraries, but what's amusing here is the small prison cells lined with books. Another item of interest is the library's collection of historic prints and old documents dating from colonial days. It's open to visitors Monday through Thursday from 10am to 8pm, Friday from 10am to 5pm, and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
Across from the library on Shirley Street is the former site of the:
6. Nassau General Post Office
If you're a collector, you may want to purchase colorful Bahamian stamps, which might be valuable in future years. You can also mail letters and packages here.
Walk east (right) on East Hill Street. Turn left onto East Street, then right onto Shirley Street, and head straight on Elizabeth Avenue. This will take you to the landmark:
7. Queen's Staircase
This stairway, built in 1793 by slaves who cut the 66 steps out of sandstone cliffs, leads to Bennet's Hill.
These stairs provide access from Old Nassau's center to:
8. Fort Fincastle
Lord Dunmore built this fort in 1793. Designed in the shape of a paddle-wheel steamer, it was a place from which to look out for marauders who never came. It was eventually converted into a lighthouse because it occupied the highest point on the island. The tower rises more than 60m (197 ft.) above the sea, providing a panoramic view of Nassau and its harbor.
A small footpath leads down from the fort to Sands Road. Once you reach it, head west (left) until you approach East Street again, and then bear right. When you come to East Hill Street (again), go left because you will have returned to the post office.
Continue your westward trek along East Hill Street, which is the foothill of:
9. Prospect Ridge
This was the old dividing line between Nassau's rich and poor. The rich (usually white) people lived along the waterfront, often in beautiful mansions. Bahamians of African descent went over the hill to work in these rich homes during the day, but returned to Prospect Ridge to their own homes (most often shanties) at night.
Near the end of East Hill Street, you come to:
10. Gregory Arch
This tunnel was cut through the hill in 1850. After it opened, working-class black Bahamians were happy to not have to go over the steep hill anymore; they could instead go through this arch to return home.
At the intersection with Market Street, turn right. On your right, you'll see:
11. St. Andrew's (Presbyterian) Kirk
Called simply "the Kirk," the church dates from 1810 but has seen many changes over the years. In 1864, it was enlarged, and a bell tower was added along with other architectural features. This church had... Leer más ...
