Partial tour of Teton, Hike
We headed south, stopping at every vista point and lodge along the way. Took lots of pictures, mostly of mountains.
Here is a landscape summary. Will post more – probably on Picassa.
Almost everywhere you are in the park the mountains are there.
We took a boat trip across a Jenny Lake to a trailhead. The trail goes up a canyon into the back country. In the first mile two sights are passed in the first mile. The first in about a half mile is Hidden Falls.
Another half mile and you come to Inspiration Point.
The trail from the boat dock to the point is a pretty good uphill climb and quite rocky and uneven. Never the less it is the most traveled trail in the park. We saw people of all ages, dress, and states of health. VERY young babies in backpacks. Women in skirts and flip flops. Saw an 88 year old man using two canes and a family member on each arm. Saw a man on oxygen carrying his portable tank. Even saw a woman sitting in a wheelchair about a third of a mile up the rough rocky trail.
See the brown spot in the middle of the next two pictures?
Moose!
