Wrapping up Teton, NP

After receiving the news we wouldn't be able to do the moose hunt(with camera, of course) on horseback, we decided to spend Labor Day over at Teton Village bombing down Rendevous mountain on our bikes!

We forgot to pack the camera, so we were left to take pics with our cell phones. So, sorry about the picture quality.

Laura catches me as I expertly wedge my front tire in between 2 rocks and darn near go over the bars. That would have made a better pic, but I managed to save it before going over.








There was a small skills park in the middle of the downhill run. We had fun doing the stunts. The phone camera was a little slow, but this is actually a see saw where you ride up one side and it swings down and you ride off it. It looks more difficult then it actually is!










We each ran about 4 different runs. By mid afternoon, we were hot, tired and hungry. The village had a tram that runs up to 10,500 ft and our lift ticket included a ride on the tram.

We enjoyed the view on the ride up and we sat at the top for a while and watched the para-gliders run off the side of the mountain and float away. Don't worry, neither of us are adventurous enough to attempt that :()

Here is a pic of the Jackson valley from the summit. Yeah, I know the quality stinks but the view was just awesome!


We packed up this morning and shot down I-15 to Salt Lake City. Darn, it's HOT here! We've been used to 68-72 degrees for the past couple of weeks. It was 92 when we arrived in SLC!

For dinner we hit the Happy Sumo for Laura's sushi fix(it's been about a week and a half). Upon our return, there was a knock on the door for a windshield repair. Nothing like having dinner paid for for 15 minutes worth of work!
