Teton Village Tram - Paint Brush Canyon

That's Snake River down there in the "hole"

Teton Village Tram

We finally got out to Teton Village, Sunday, and rode the tram up Rendezvous Mountain where we ate the $100 waffles at Corbet's Cabin (price includes all day tram rides.)  Took our time enjoying the views.  We eventually came back down for lunch & some shopping at Teton Village.  Monday turned out to be a rain day - very unusual for this part of Wyoming in July. 

On Tuesday we walked into Paint Brush Canyon via the String Lake Loop Trail.  Paint Brush Canyon is the next canyon north of Cascade Canyon.  Incline not quite as steep as Cascade Canyon.  It makes for a a good overnight trip if you work in some of the loop trails in the area.  The trail is mostly wooded with limited views until you get into the lower canyon camping area.  We walked almost to where the trail crosses the creek.  A freshly fallen tree blocked the trail just short of the creek crossing.  We'd been walking over two & a half hours, and the the tree made a good excuse to turn around.

Other days we're back at the hatchery talking fish.  We've got about five weeks left to go.  Suppose to leave September 9th.  No other bucket lists items that I'm aware of.  We do have reservations to spend three nights in the Grant Village area of Yellowstone the first week of September.  As always, that's the plan.

Thanks for checking in on us.  We're fine.  Just finished a hatchery staff picnic dinner this evening at the pond.  Ate too much (and I had planned to eat too much, too!)

That's it for us this week.  Until next week, David
