Jackson Hole Weekend

So this last weekend we decided to go up the Jackson Hole, WY for 1 night. My family was having a reunion in Grace and so we decided to go a little further and have an adventure. Well we sure did! We didn't have a reserved campsite because Gros Ventre has like 300-400 campsites. Well apparently they filled up by 6 pm and we got there at like 9:15 pm. So we drove around to everywhere else, which was full, and even considered a hotel (which most of those were full too, the cheap ones at least). So we pulled off on this dirt road, just planning to either sleep in the car or next to it a little ways up so we wouldn't get caught. Well we were blessed because it was a non-designated camping zone. You could camp anywhere for up to 5 days. so we pulled off the road, set up camp, and slept, kinda.
Garrett is such a people person. He hates to ride in the back seat by himself, so I crawled back there and then he started making these cute faces.
It's cold out there. 5 more minutes? Garrett loved the tent and sleeping bag. We will definatly going camping again but maybe with a reserved campsite.

This was our great spot that we found at like 11:30 pm. Then we set up in the moonlight and finally got in bed around 12:30 ish. Not that we got much sleep.
Garrett wanted to cuddle when he woke up. He loves to camp, and slept through the night! However we didn't. I kept worrying about him and then there were people driving up
the canyon all night. (like 3, 4, 5am..ect... )

Good morning. We all huddled together in the morning because it was so cold.


Garrett patiently waited until we got the tent and stuff all cleaned up!


On our way to the hiking trailhead, we stopped to get a great family photo with the Tetons.


Jordan and Garrett ready to hike!
It was Garrett's first hike (4 mo.) and he did awesome!
He even fell asleep on the way back


Garrett wasn't interested in the scenery until he had
his fill of the loose backpack strap.


This is Phelps Lake. It was a nice easy hike for some great views.
Plus it wasn't in the park so it was free!
Garrett is pumped he made it to the top!

Just resting, and a little snack, before the hike back down. jordan wanted to switch hats and have Garrett's totally awesome one.


Nice Elk.

Of course whenever you go to Jackson you have the get the elk arch.
