“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.” -John Muir

The world at two miles high

Yes, that's snow in the background. I decided to take a dip at 10,000 feet at the halfway point of our 10-mile hike. I surfaced from the full-body submersion and yelped. Holy cow, it was cold. Snow melt empties into Amphitheater lake, which is surrounded by forest, rock and mountains on all sides, most notably Grand Teton in the background. 
Here's a shot of Jason right before we stopped at the lake for lunch.

I guess life really is more relaxed there. I never expected to see a naked shot of Traci on the internet.
