Table Rock Mountain Hike!

We had so much fun hiking Table Rock Mountain. It took us all day Friday but it was worth it. We started up at 7am and we got back to camp around 8pm. We took our sweet time but we also got lost for about an hour. We didn't know that the trail went across the river because another trail went strait and then turned into a creek bed so we followed it but we soon realized that we were lost. We finally found the real trail after pushing our way through bushes, trees, mud, and rocks but we were having fun so it wasn't a big deal. We didn't know where we went wrong until we came back down. It was easy to miss the trail that went across the river. It was all worth it because the view of the Grand Tetons from Table Rock was so amazing!!

We stopped by this pretty waterfall on our way up for a snack.

This was at the top of the switchbacks. Scott, Carly, Nicole, Randon, Jordan, Annie Dog, and Sasha Dog. We thought that the swichbacks were hard and after that it was going to be easy until the last push to the top. We were wrong! There's very little oxygen up there and it makes it very hard to walk at all. We all had a very hard time getting to the top! Jordan almost made it but it just wasn't his day. The dogs on the other hand loved it. They were tired but they had no problems.

Annie and Sasha were in heaven when we found a patch of snow.
On the top of Table Rock Mountain. It was so windy Scott is holding my hat on. I can't believe how close the Tetons were. It felt like you could walk over and touch them!

This is on our way back down. We are somewhat pointing at Table Rock Mountain. We couldn't believe how far away it looked and we still had a long way to go. The fields of flowers were so pretty all the way up.
