Table Rock, Tetons, Teton National Park

 I ventured into Teton National Park for the Table Rock hike, a 9-mile round trip that ascends to 11,500 feet.  My adventures included catching a runaway pack horse laden with steel cages (you should have seen me run him down!), an encounter with stinging nettle, crossing raging streams barefoot, and meeting up with Miss Jane on the trail.


I have a little tradition to uphold- at the peak of every hike or the summit of every mountain, I do a handstand or toe-touch.  My handstand in front on the Grand Teton.
There were fields of wildflowers strewn across the mountainside.  Interestingly, there would be a whole field of sunflowers (as seen in the picture), a whole field of bluebells, and whole fields of different flowers.  I guess pretty sticks together.
