over Jackson Lake. Didn't get much color on the mountains this morning. I'll try again tomorrow. It's hit or miss with this kind of photography. Just have to be at the right place at the right time.
Drove over to Jenny Lake boat dock around 9:00 to catch the ride over to the start of the Cascade Canyon trail.
Got some photos along the way
It's 4.5 miles from the trail head to the fork at the end of the canyon. By the time we started the hike, it was 10:00, so we decided to walk until 12:00 and then turn around to be back by 2:00 so we could catch the boat to the Visitor's Center and get our Park Passport stamped.
The Cascade Canyon hike is a fantastic hike. Pretty tough first mile up to Inspiration Point, but well worth it.
You don't want to stop there, though. Continue on for another mile and you come to some cool Alpine meadows and great views of the glaciers on the side of the Grand Teton.
Most visitors stop at Inspiration Point. We went about another two miles. Never made it to the fork at the end of the canyon, but we were pretty close and got some nice views. Decided to take the horse trail back to the boat dock for a different view. It descended much more quickly. Although we had to dodge road apples, it was a quicker return trip and we made it back to the boat by 1:30.
We were back to the Twinkie before 2:30. By the way, here are some photos of our campsite. We really are close to the lake. You can see it just to the right through the trees in the second photo.
We're grilling filet mignon wrapped in bacon with baked potato and salad for dinner. .... If you're in the area, stop by and join us! ;-)
