I told you they were pretty.
Our condo was only about five miles from the South entrance to the Tetons. We ended up with a blue bird day for our hike.
Michael, Tomas, Mandy, Erin, and Pat prove that physical appearance is an important part of any hiking expedition--snow gear can be both practical and fashion forward. Here they are at the Taggart Lake trailhead.
Because I have been rather lazy lately, with my longest hiking expeditions being the .5 mile walk from our house to the park, I was happy to hang back and play photographer. I mean...I felt so strongly about my photographic goals that I boldly elected to bring up the rear. I also fought off the bears that were following us. You're welcome, team.
The Tetons are so steep and jagged that they feel more imposing than the Wasatch range. They rise from the valley at such a dramatic angle.
Can you spot the intrepid trio marching below?
The views on our hike changed with each step.

I might make Michael another sandwich. In eight years or so.
Still talking about the sandwich. Seriously. "Really. I had no idea she could make a good sandwich."
We spent a highly-enjoyable night filled with too many enchiladas and lots of Settling. The next morning we headed to Jackson Lake. I've never seen ice that color. Despite the overcast skies, the frozen lake was bright and beautiful.
Checking the ice.
Our buddies, Tanner and PK exploring, Samurai style.
Thanks for the invitation, Pat and Erin! Maybe someday you could convince us to come back (wink, wink, hint, nudge, eyebrow raise). It was really beautiful. (Aw, crap.)
