Last warm weather hike of the season
It's snowing and and will remain cold for the next 10 days. Yesterday, the high was in the mid 70's, blue skies and perfect. I took full advantage of the last 2 warm weather days of the fall with a float down the Teton river 2 days ago, and a big day hike yesterday. In one of the pictures, you can see the smoke coming off of the mountain from a prescribed burn forest fire.

Wind River Mountains-- Backpacking
When backpacking in the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming, any time of year, a person can experience all four seasons--in one day. Hot weather, fall weather, snow, hail, 60+ mile winds and rain is what I experienced during this trip. This past August, it even snowed a foot! These mountains dwarf the Tetons. I can't wait to go back for a longer trip. Three days barely scratched the surface.
