Teton National Park

Majestic

Backpacking up into Death Canyon in Teton National Park was surreal it was so beautiful! These are shots from our day hike through forests of wildflowers. Reds, purples, blues, yellows, and oranges made our narrow dirt path into a jungle as we crossed creeks creating rivers. Our hammock nap was nothing short of tranquil. We took a “short cut” down off the side of the mountain face (which is never a good idea I might add) that took us dangerously down through cascades and wildflowers. We thankfully made it safe back to flat ground and snuggled back into our cozy campspot. I love backpacking with Tyler and building our own little safe place right in the woods. He showed me how to use the filter and we learned about portable bear cans together. I was happy and warm as we went to bed with the sun.

Tip: This is an excellent National Park to go backpacking. Make sure to reserve a permit ahead of time, or you’ll just have to take what’s open.

Visiting Teton National Park with Kids

Tip: Jenny Lake is gorgeous and you can drive there.

Tip: If possible, go backpacking. This can be a major endeavor with kids, but they will surely never forget it.

I'm a work in progress. And it's awesome! There's so much to experience and to learn--sometimes the hard way. I'm just trying to find ways to enjoy the ride.
