Some lovely day hikes

These photos are some highlights from several different day hikes in May. We had a lot less snow this past winter which opened up the backcountry earlier than usual and I'm okay with a longer hiking season! 

This photo was taken June 3rd. All north facing slopes hang onto winter snow the longest.

My Old Office

The Fall Squeeze

Every fall I have an extreme urgency to get as much hiking, backpacking, biking, camping, floating, in before the snow flies. Because once that snow blower turns on it usually doesn't stop until May. Sometimes June! So, it's been "crunch time," here in the Tetons cramming in as much outdoor activity as possible. I want to be satisfied from my summer & and fall and not dread the impending winter like I always do. So, now I question myself. Am I ever really satisfied that I'm getting in as much outdoor activity as I want? Never! Haha! I always want to hike and be in the woods at all times! Solitude = pure bliss...

Table Mountain Hike

Table Mountain Summit

Table Mountain, just over 11,000' & only 2.5 miles west of the Grand Teton, has the best 360 degree view that makes the 14 mile day hike (4000 ft in elevation gain) worth it!
