The weekend of October 10, 2008, Jessica and David came to visit from Ohio. Jessica had been to the Tetons twice, but she always managed to come when it was snowing on the mountains, and she still had not actually seen the Teton range. I tried to…
Tracy and I hiked a little around Logan Canyon on 5 Oct 08. We wanted to see some good fall colors, and Logan Canyon never disappoints this time of year. We didn’t do any significant hiking…we just hiked a couple of short trails to get out into…
The weekend of September 26, 2008, Tracy and I headed to the Tetons for our annual trip to hear elk bugling. We heard elk, but this year we had more interesting experiences with moose. On Saturday we drove around outside the park to look for fall colors.…
The weekend of 13 Sep 08, Tracy and I backpacked at China Meadows in the Uintas. I’ve read that this trail can get pretty crowded in the summer so I hoped it would be late enough in the season to avoid the people. It was. We only…
On September 4, 2008, Jess and I headed to the Beartooths for a four day backpacking loop. We had tried to go the weekend before, but the weather forecast called for some nasty winter weather (yeah, just 3 weeks after the last winter weather stopped…), so we…

The weekend of August 1, 2008, Tracy and I headed to the Flat Tops Wilderness in Colorado for a three day hiking trip. We were originally going to hike in the Winds, but the snow still looked iffy, so then we decided to do the Beartooths, but…
The weekend of 19 Jul 08, Tracy and I headed over to the Highline Trail on the east side of the Uintas. I wanted to get above tree line and I wanted to get away from the mosquitoes. Well, we got above tree line, but the mosquitoes…
Over the long weekend of July 4, 2008, Chris and Stacia flew in from Seattle and we all four went to the Tetons and Yellowstone for the weekend. The Tetons were pretty crowded, so we camped Friday night just outside of the south entrance of Yellowstone. Saturday…
On 28 Jun 08, Tracy and I did a long dayhike up to Grandaddy Lakes in the Uintas. We did some cross-country hiking to Marsell Lake, which was nice. We couldn’t get down to Marsell Lake because it was too steep where we came up on the…
