The Grand Tetons


So Dustin had planed a trip with the family to go on a hiking trip to the Grand Tetons in Jackson Hole, WY really pretty! So Dustin, Cadence, Quinn, Cameron, Dad and I all went on this rigorous (well to me it was rigorous) beautiful camping trip. Started on July 29th,We took the Grand Teton Crest Trail, wow i was completely not ready for this trip, thought i was but man was this a difficult trip for me i was probably the slowest one on the trip i wanted to go my pace and not be rushed more yeah I'm sure it drove other people crazy not going to mention who but it was fun i mean the area was beautiful. Crazy to think that its completely serene out there but that's what happens being out in the mountains.


Most of our days would consist of going up and down mountains we would probably go up and down areas like 3-4 times before we set down to camp over night see in that picture of me see where my head is right about it that mountain area we were there earlier in the day and that picture was taken after lunch crazy i still can't believe i survived!


Yes we were told there would be bears and we were given these big black obnoxious thick plastic containers to put our food in so the bears wouldn't be able to get to our food.

We ditched those in the car because we didn't want to carry the extra weight. Sides we never did see a bear out on the trails or at night. Just deer, squirls, marmots, chipmunks. Although that bear sign genius! Piece of unlamented paper taped to the tree with electrical tape!



The Group! We were suppose to stay out on the trails till August 4th but we bummed out a day early because Cameron chipped her tooth i was tired out and my knee was killing me and we just decided as a group well minus Dustin and Cadence that, that was what we wanted to do and that it was the best for all of us to go home.
