Another lovely day in Grand Teton National Park! We beat the crowds to the Spring Lake Trailhead which we followed through burned forest, ferns, around a lake, and up Cascade Creek to Hidden Falls. The falls were ferocious, splashing down the rocks and spraying us from fifty yards away. With the shade and the spray, there had to be a twenty degree temperature difference from the direct sun.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
I spent the whole day in Bryce Canyon National Park, and it was fantastic. As I drove to the park, bright and early, the cloud covered sky sprinkled drops of rain. Just before the park entrance, I stopped at some forest land to let Petey water a few trees, and during our 5 minute stroll it started sleeting on us. I could see a few sections of blue sky beyond the black cloud, so I hoped for the best once I arrived at Bryce Point. As I continued a mile further, I saw a rain drop defy gravity and flutter upward in the wind…no, it was actually a snow flake. I saw only a smattering of snowflakes before I passed through some intermittent sprinkles and finally parked at Bryce Point where I prepared for a 5.5 mile hike.
