Maximizing our last summer weekends!

Trev, Ted and I made the most of our weekend with an awesome overnight backpack from Granite Canyon to Death Canyon in the Tetons...great great times boys, so much fun!

Ted made sure he was prepared for one overnight with TWO bottles of whiskey! (1.25 got carried back down)

Ted and I at the top of the tram...beginning our adventures.

The first big snow patch we saw, Ted and Trev with handstands to celebrate it.
And yes, the snow is pink. It is some sort of algae that apparently thrives in cold temps and has a watermelon smell, hence why they call this Watermelon Snow, but don't eat it!

Trev hydrating on the Teton Crest Trail

Look how buff this guy is, must be why he insisted on carrying everything...love him!

Wildflowers galore in mid-August? Thank you rainy June!

Trekking across Fox Creek Pass with the Tetons coming into view in the background.

Not a bad campsite, huh? We set up Ted's tent, but we all opted for sleeping under the stars instead (cross it off The 30 List!), luckily we had a light cloud cover that made the night temps bearable.

Whiskey, beer and gummies...something for everyone!

Does it get better than this?

Making the most of the sunset...I don't really do yoga in the dark normally! : )

Will post the rest of the pics tomorrow...
