On July 31st and August 1st my friend Preston Lees and I went on a 30 mile backpacking trip on the west side of the teton mountains. The first day we started at the Teton Canyon trailhead, hiked up Devil's Staircase, down into the Alaska Basin, and ended on a secluded glacial lake far from civilization. The second day we hiked up Hurricane Pass, where we sat right in front of Grand Teton. It was quite the workout but I was actually surprised how well my old body held up.
