Kirina and I went to the Tetons a couple weeks ago. It was truly amazing. All my time growing up in Wyoming and I had never actually stayed in the Tetons. I went to Alpine a lot with a good friend growing up, but never camped in the Tetons. It was a great experience for both of us. The picture above is on the first day on our hike to Taggart Lake. Following are some pictures from the hike:
On the trail to Taggart Lake...so beautiful! They split the group into two groups to keep the activities smaller. Kirina was with 4 boys & 2 other girls. It was fun!
Horses and pack mules used to carry things to to Taggart Lake...the kids loved them!
Breathtaking views, and yes we got a little sprinkling but it was welcomed!
We thought this was comical on the hike 1 mile from water...an abandoned canoe...plus a great shot of Kirina's group. Kirina has the CAT hat on.
A neat rock!
Beautiful mountain blue bells!
An amazing trail!
Journaling at Taggart Lake.
Taggart Lake!
Kirina on the hike back to the truck, completely enjoying life.
Cooling off in the stream.
The students thought this looked like a cactus. It is a burnt tree.
Doing chores around camp!
Journaling and discussing journal entries in camp with Mr. Newell.
Hangin' out in camp!
Watching the bison in the morning outside of camp!
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
Wolf tracks along the Snake River.
Along with some bear tracks! (We did run into one bear just after our canoeing in String Lake...it did not bother us and we did not get in his way!)
Kirina's group on the lazy river float when we got out to look at the tracks and study our surroundings.
I even got to guide the raft! It was fun, but harder than it looks to stay out of the "strainers". Kirina learned as well. We have video, but it is not uploading well.
Kirina and her friend, Avery, right before the rapids float! They were nervous! I was nervous! but it was GREAT!
Kirina was on Mr. Newell's raft so I snapped a couple pictures of her. It was with the waterproof camera so they are a tad bit pixelated.
Not sure why the video is not loading correctly, but here is a part in the river where they were jumping in! The rapids were a blast. The Discovery Learning trip was fun. I am glad I got to spend some one-on-one time with Kirina in this atmosphere. It was neat and unforgettable!
Love this girl!!
