Grand Teton National Park

The last few times I have been to this region the focus was exclusively on Yellowstone. This time we explored the Tetons. We took two big hikes here including an attempt at reaching Amphitheater Lake which lies in the cirque below the Grand Teton (the highest peak in the picture). In the foreground you can see the winding Snake River which flows into the Columbia and out to the Pacific Ocean.

Note to Dad: If you want to hike 10 miles with a 3,000 foot elevation gain, start before noon.
