Today we took a boat ride across Jenny Lake then hiked up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point -a 900 feet elevation gain over 1 mile so that got the blood pumping! The views were gorgeous, and the weather was perfect -sunny, clear and cool in the morning.  We continued on to Cascade Canyon which…

A relatively quiet day today, we both participated in Old Bills Run, Christina did the 10K and I did the untimed fun run. This is a fantastic community event that is free for anyone to enter, and they encourage people to donate to their favorite local nonprofits. The start of the race was at the…

It’s definitely starting to get a little cooler now, Javi and I went on a morning hike and going up the hills helped warm us up.  I explored some parts of the Grand Tetons that had been too crowded over the holiday weekend, but now were easier to get around. First stop was Mormon Row…

Started the morning enjoying coffee, reading and journaling then headed out for a morning hike at Coal Creek with Christina and Javi.  Wonderful hike that climbed up through a forest next to a tumbling creek. At one point Javi’s ears went straight up and he started to climb into the bushes. Luckily Christina stopped him, because…

Today I woke up to a beautiful dawn and watched the sunrise, I love being able to do this so often! Javi and I watched a farmer plow the fields next to our place, it was pretty cool watching the transformation of the field. I headed out on a hike, stopping at the local coffee…

This morning I went for a hike in the nearby national forest just after sunrise, what a wonderful time of the day to be outside. Christina had to work so I had the day to myself. I headed to the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and took the tram all the way to the top of…

Today’s adventure was whitewater rafting on the Snake River. Even the bus trip to the put in point was gorgeous, though the views going down the river were incredible. I couldn’t bring my phone to take photos because we were too busy paddling and it definitely would have gotten wet. Fantastic trip with a really…

After yesterday‘s long hike I slept in and then one went out for what I intended to be a short half an hour walk, but ended up walking for about an hour and a half getting to know Jackson better. I discovered an amazing tree village in the park near where we are staying. So…

Lazy morning, took Javi on a walk down a different part of the multi use path and found two tunnels with student artwork. There are some parts of the path that dogs can be off leash and when I let Javi off he went bounding down the path to a grassy lawn where he jumped…

Walked Javi along the path just around the corner from the place we are staying, found  a couple of little free libraries and enjoyed the rushing river next to the path as the sun rose. Stopped and got some coffee and delicious pastries and headed back home. We drove out to Cache Creek trailhead and hiked,…
