Most scenic running route, ever!

Yesterday, I was still wondering what was the most scenic route I've ever run on. It wasn't in Hawaii, nor in Europe, nor even in Asia. It had to be just north of Jackson Hole, by Route 89, starting at Gros Ventre Junction, continuing almost by the airport and returning back to the starting point. It's easy to park the car at the junction and then follow the newly built bicycle/pedestrian path that meanders next to the main highway.
On the way out and to the right its all about the Grand Tetons and runners can get their fill of the incomparable mountain scenery for as long as they're willing to push on their legs. Facing south, the return trip is less stunning, but more than good enough to make that run the most unforgettable experience runners will have in their lifetime, unless, of course, they decide to move and settle around Jackson!
