The Grand Teton... 13,887 feet

Its the big one in the middle, the extra scary-looking one...  "The Grand" is the second highest peak in Wyoming.  Yikes! "We're going up there?!!  Good luck Amy" (Feliks says)

Here we are at the trail head.  Six happy and eager people.  Ready to start the 6, or was it 8? hour treck to the base camp.  The weather looks good...Our stuff is being carried up by some climber dudes who needed some extra cash...It doesn't get much better than this!!

Lunch...with the Marmotts.  Very aggressive Marmotts at that.

Here we are resting while the experts in the group set up some rope over an "exposed area".  This is a climbers term used to describe, well basically - a place where you can potentially fall to your horribly frightening death. We kept hearing "don't worry, its really easy, but its just a bit exposed"  HA!

Look at us!  We are on top of the world!

The Summit!!  AHHH!    I can honestly say -this was the most beautiful view I have ever seen.

...And now for the Descent.  What a bummer.  Now we have to climb all the way back down!! This was the fun part, getting lowered on the ropes.

Thank you Greg!  What an amazing adventure!!  We are forever changed by the Grandness of the Grand.  We could NOT have done it without you (literally).  We cannot thank you enough.  You were a terriffic guide. Maybe we'll do it again some time...then again though, maybe not!
