GTNP backpacking, second installment

Tuesday started blue but turned a bit cloudy and was on and off sun all day.

Table Mountain. Does not look like a table from the canyon.




Approaching the Schoolroom Glacier.



Schoolroom Glacier, little glacial pond, and big moraine. S. Teton beyond.




Grand, Middle, and S Tetons.


Heading over into Alaska Basin.


In AK Basin you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a marmot.


Sunset Lake.


Native American Paintbrush.


After dropping our tent and heavy stuff, we headed up to Mt Meek Pass. This is looking back into AK Basin.


One area on Mt Meek Pass appeared to be paved with paving stones.


Nice blue flowers right on the pass, too.


Swam in a lake before dinner. Buck Mtn behind.






We got up in the middle of the night, briefly, and saw an amazing starry sky.
