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!

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)
The first big snow patch we saw, Ted and Trev with handstands to celebrate it.

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.
