With a generous donation from Laurance S. Rockefeller, visitors to Grand Teton National Park have access to over 1,100 acres of pristine land located on the shores of Phelps Lake.
Rosie and Pat brought along on the hike lots of special people: Rosie's mom (Irene Mellion, today's guest blogger), her aunt (Carol Connors), and her honorary "Aunt" Pam Basset. "Uncle" Will Bassett stayed at the visitor center and explored their beautiful library (see below)

"How we treat the land, how we build upon it
how we act toward our air and water,
will in the long run tell
what kind of people we really are
