Greetings from Jackson Hole, Wyoming!  We are on vacation and hiking in the Grand Tetons.

On Monday, we took a five plus hour hike up Fred’s mountain.  It was a steady climb up and it was beautiful.  The scenery was incredible, with wild flowers and mountain views.  At the top (over 10,000 feet elevation) we were surprised at the amount of snow.

The one casualty on the way down the mountain was my hiking shoes – the soles completely came apart.  Luckily, my husband and our good friend Rick came prepared with string and first aid tape.  Think we should send this to LL Bean to use as an ad for their boots?

Yesterday, we hiked around Phelp’s lake.  This was a recovery day, so the hike was not a big climb and lasted only a couple of hours.  Again, we were rewarded with gorgeous views.

On today’s agenda – a hike to Death Canyon.  Happy Wednesday!
