Old Faithful, WY to Togwotee Pass











We hiked in 11 miles to Heart Lake with Dan and Sarah on a very warm day. We camped by a creek and had an amazing evening roasting hot dogs and marshmallows by campfire. In the morning we parted ways and Brian and I headed South. The terrain changes were subtle, but before we knew it we were back on the Divide at 10000 feet with stunning vistas of the Teton Mountain Range. We could also see ahead of us the spectacular mountains we would climb to in the coming weeks. At Togwotee Pass we met my mom and brother. We drove to Jackson and hung out, along with doing our other in-town "chores". We even got to play a round of golf! Now it's back to the trail where we head into one of the most remote sections, the Wind River Range. It will be our longest stretch between towns, nine days.
