A rendezvous of sorts. My son and I planned to meet up in Wyoming one last time before we moved on out of the area. It was a two-hour drive for him, coming from the Boulder area, and his first time driving to another state on his own. He arrived...
After spending almost three full weeks in the National Forest just outside of the Grand Teton National Park, and kayaking just about every body of water we could, we finally packed up and moved further North on our way towards Alaska. It was somewhat somber that we were leaving a...
For our final kayaking in the Grand Teton area we chose to revisit Jackson Lake inside the National Park. Though it was one of our first, it has so many nooks-n-crannys that it deserved another day of exploration. This day, instead of heading into the inlets and channels to Half...
Finally, early Monday morning, after a weekend of rain (and a raging hangover thanks to a night of Calypso Cocktails), Kerri and I got to bring the kayaks back out to the water. Our final destination to kayak in the area was the String Lake to Leigh Lake trip in...
The Chapel of the Transfiguration is a small log chapel in Grand Teton National Park and is now on the National Register of Historic Places . Built in 1925 it still holds services twice a week. It was built specifically to frame the Cathedral Group of peaks of the Teton...
After the kayaking adventures of the past weekend the weather came in to rain on our parade, so to speak. The work week has been just that, work-work-work which is not necessarily a bad thing. A few days of hard work allows more play time come the weekend where we...
We double-downed on the kayaking by hitting Jackson Lake following yesterday’s ‘yaking on Jenny Lake. We knew Jackson Lake would not let us down with the “trail” mingling among the many inlets, channels, and islands between Coulter Bay and Half Moon Bay.
Since I began thinking about buying a kayak/canoe I’ve pictured it on Jenny Lake. For me, she has been the iconic lake to explore. I realize that this is not necessarily true, but to someone that knew nothing of kayaking, or lakes, Jenny was my lake-romance.
It is a funny feeling; not looking forward to moving onto the next location. That is the reality of this place to Kerri and I, we have been looking forward to the Teton Forest for months and now that we are here we are happy to sit idle for as...
I knew it was a little risky to start moving North so early in the season, but we had spent the last four weeks in RV parks and the options in Colorado for boondocking is very slim at this time of the year. Instead of waiting around for the weather...
