I need to unload pictures from my phone, so why not here

Wyoming pictures (so far):

From Teton pass to Jenny lake (in no particular order)

So I was on my way to Teton pass from victor, id and saw a weigh station fir semi-trucks. What went through my mind??? How much dies my bike weigh fully loaded? It wasn't 100% accurate, it maybe it was, and altogether my bike and gear amounts to 80 lbs. (With me included, bike + gear + me = 260 lbs.)


Not sure why but I wanted to note where that weigh station was/is. 

Awes yeah!!!! Made it to the top going from Idaho into Wyoming. Stopped about 15 to 20 times. Was a pain to get started up a 10% grade. Walked between 1/4 and 1/2 mile to reach Teton pass. So cool (and cold) at the top. No one stopped there but me. So cool!


Above two pic's:  looking down into Jackson hole from Teton pass.

The weather cleared up to make Jenny lake enjoyable and the drive out there amazing.






Above 5 photos: great afternoon hike to the top of snow king in Jackson, Wy. Snake river brewery was a great motivator this day. The hike from the bottom of the main chairlift to the top is an elevation gain of 1500ft. I hiked it in an hour and a half, then rode the lift down. The view... Crazy awesome, but not as wicked awesome as the view from atop Teton village tram.






Above 5 photos: Jenny lake and the north end of the Tetons. My intention was to go hiking across the lake but the feet were telling me "no!!", so I walked through the water to a really nice sitting rock where I snapped these pictures and absorbed the joyously sweet views.


Above two pics: just really cool and couldn't pass up these great images/memories.


Today it cleared up enough to really see the Teton mountains on my way out of Jackson, Wy. Had a blast with Emily, Dan, Annalise, and Felix. 

Now, onto Cheyenne!
