August was a whirlwind of end-of-summer activities. I was off in Yellowstone National Park's back country. One of the group suffered back trouble, so we cut our 100-mile trip by A LOT. We ended up doing a 25 miles in 4 days and 3 nights. We returned to sivilization and followed up with two more day-hikes west of the Tetons and a tourist day in Jackson.
Many other Trail Heads took hikes and backpacking trips on their own. And the group went up to Inspiration Point near Lake Alpine for stupendous trip. If you missed it (as did I) watch for a "make up trip" in the near future.

In early September we took a hike out of the Clark Fork Trailhead. This was cause for celebration, as many trails in the area have been closed since last year's devastating Donnells Fire. We had a robust group of 19 who enjoyed a picture-perfect day on the trail.

We catch up with Karie Lew about the upcoming Dragoon Gulch Trail Project (in Sonora on 10/12 and 10/13). If you've been thinking, "I want to volunteer for that," well, now is the time! Early commitment will aid in planning. Here's the link:
