Tetons, wow

A look-back at the Tetons this morning. 

Only one other place The Tetons compares to from my perspective and that's is the Grand Canyon. You want to keep staring at the beauty. 

Still zig zagging the continental divide but at higher elevations. Meeting folks poping out of the woods for food and drink. 

The air is getting thinners up here. This 16 mile climb, Togwotee Pass tops out at 9584'. I fired the photographer, fingers, no excuse. Back to the trusted tripod. 

For you Tom

Heading south from Teton National Park, beautiful painted rock. 
Hot today and hotter Sunday , no rain ..... Ya. 

Don't ask but I need to find an eye glass shop .... ran over my eyeglass case, nothing broke but I need an frame adjustment.

    Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs have of the most amazing sights! Heading out there in 10 days to climb those mountains - too bad our days didn't overlap! Mt Hayes isn't on my list, but thanks for the shout out!

    Very Pretty. Thank You.

    I believe that is Arrowleaf Balsamroot.

    Can you get a picture of the moon over the mountains? Or a big starry night?

      I could try Tom but the challenge is I've been going to bed before the sun goes down ..... Pooped. May when I get up to use the boys room in the middle of the night!
