Amphitheater Lake

Yesterday we hiked to Surprise and Amphitheater Lakes

in Grand Teton National Park. Calvin, Megan, Evie

and Nathaly went with us. It was a beautiful day.

Amphitheater Lake

Notice there is still some ice on the lake.

This was a first.

Calvin stuck his big toe

in the lake and wimped out.

Either the water was very cold,

or Calvin is getting old enough

for his brain to overpower

the brawn.

When we completed the Amphithteater Lake

hike of ten miles with a 3,000 foot vertical rise,

these crazy ladies had not had enough,

so we took the boat across Jenny Lake

and ran up to Hidden Falls.

After Hidden Falls we drove to the top of Signal Mountain

for Nathaly to see the view. We ended the day

with dinner at Signal Mountain Lodge

and the two hour drive got us home at midnight.
