If you want to see the view, you've got to take the hike...

We just got back into service, hence my silence these last few days- but no worries I have lots to share! Thursday, like planned we took a gondola ride up to the top of Rendezvous  Mountain (its alongside the Teton Mountain range). With a 360 panoramic incredible view we felt like we were on top of the world. We watched paraglyders fly off the summit into the open sky it was a sight to see. As we watched we all agreed it was cool- but the thought of doing it ourselves made our stomachs queazy. After taking a small hike we headed back to base camp, ate lunch and were off to DuBois to pick up our sleeping arraignment for the next week - dad and moms trailer. Since then we've done everything from quading to Fish Lake and the Continental Divide, to attending the local DuBois Rodeo, to horseback riding, to kayaking, to fishing and at the top of our list- hiking. Ev's been our motivator all week and keeps reminding us "If we want to see the views, we've got to take the hike" or something like that- it changes day to day.  So far he's been right- but we have one more hike left today- this one  to Cascade Canyon.  Unlike all the others, this one  is "kind of" a touristy hot spot nestled in the Teton National Park.   I'll be sure to take lots of photos so stay tuned. Oh yeah, and mom and dad are flying in tonight to be with us- could this trip get any better?!
