There were so many photos I thought I would post a few more and schedule them for later today the 19th.  Today (the 19th) we are taking a tram ride to the top of the mountain over by Teton Village.  We did this years ago with the kids and thought it would be fun to do it again while we are here. I will post those photos tonight or tomorrow.

This is one of the boats that ferries people across (for a fee) Jenny lake cutting 2 miles off of your hike.  What a beautiful setting this is:

Looking at the water rushing down from Hidden Falls through the trees:

Many years ago when the kids were young we were able to get close to the water in many places to set and rest, have a picnic or whatever but now parts of the trails are fenced off and this is why:

All for now, will post more later.  We are taking a picnic lunch with us and will be out for a good part of the day.

We hiked about 4 miles today.  We took a boat across Jenny Lake, this cuts off two miles of the trip to Inspiration Point.  We have taken this hike about 5 times in the past 30 years and always enjoy it.  We go about a half of a mile past the point.  Here are some photos that Mike took today.  He stitched several into each of these.  I think it was originally 3 photos that he turned out into each finished view.

One of the rockiest points of this hike. We don’t know these people :) they were ahead of us and don’t know they poised for a photo.

We love this view!!  It amazes us each time we see it:

I will look through more of the photos and see what else to share :)   (this post was from the hiking trail we took on the 18th.)
