Acclimation

My dad came out to SLC for several days in order to get used to the altitude for an attempt on the Grand Teton, mom decided to join in on the fun. We hiked them up for an overnight at Lake Blanche, summit of Pfifferhorn, & a day hike to Dog lake. We ate just about every meal on the deck & off the grill and had a great time together. We're still trying to convince them to move out here!!! Getting closer perhaps...now dad is convinced South Mountain may have the paragliding he's looking to get into (we didn't get any pics of him flying, bummer).

Enjoying the Aspens along the trail

20 minutes to the lake?!?!

Perfect time for the sunset on the peaks & to grab a tent site before dark!



Liking the lake life (no boating on this one though)

Still going up....
