Monday June 25, 2007 Jenny Lake & Inspiration Point


My last day with Louise till I get home. In honor of that, I’m going to put her to work one last time as guest blogger, so don’t get used to her style, cause this is it!!
Here she is – LOUISE!!!!!!!!!!!
We wore ourselves out today – our last day in this beautiful country. We hiked a trail by Jenny Lake, which is not far from Jackson. We took the shuttle boat across the lake, and then hiked a mile up to Hidden Falls, and Inspiration Point after that. For those of you that know about my apprehensions with heights, you would be surprised that I made it to the point. There was a section at the top that was a bit narrow, and had a cliff drop off. But the view from the top was fantastic! We decided to walk the 2 miles back to the visitor’s center and parking lot. This was the longest 2 miles. It felt like 20, with all the ups and downs. So Matt and I are taking some aspirin before bed tonight. (I am glad we did it, as the scenery was gorgeous!)
We then had lunch at a Mexican restaurant in town, and later returned to town to see the nightly gun battle that occurs by the square at 6. It is actually a promotion for the local theatre group that is putting on 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. It was entertaining, and we were surprised at the size of the crowd.
Early to bed this evening, as my airport transportation arrives at 5am for the 7am flight. What was I thinking??? Matt is off to Cody WY tomorrow on his way home. He has some interesting stops planned – so stay tuned.
