This was a banner year for ski trips, with hut trips in December, January, and March, and of course our trip to Japan. I couldn’t have asked for better companions or a better trail! Heading for some technical trail on tired legs…įinal descent down Paintbrush Canyon. I’m pointing at something, perky as ever. Some CU students were on a backpacking trip, and they made an arch for us to run through!ĭon’t make Julia jump twice. So ready to go! Mile 0 at Phillips Canyon of Highway 22. However, any difficulties fade in memory, but the good parts linger. Like any big day out, there were ups (views of the Grant Teton, wildflowers, glacial valleys, swimming in high mountain lakes, waterfalls!) and downs (being the pep to counter some mega bonks due to intense heat, popping tylenol every four hours to dull the throbbing in my feet, having the run be two miles longer than anticipated, having to keep up with two gals that suddenly found leg speed 11 hours in). I went with two fantastic ladies, Julia and Courtney, and we had a grand day. 2017 September 2017 - Teton Crest Trail I haven’t tumblred in a while…I have a few drafts in the hopper of other trips, but for the moment - my trip to Jackson Hole this past Labor Day.
