We left home at around 9:30 AM to take our final trip to Schwabacher Landing in the Tetons. Our arrival was a bit different than the last time we were here when a cement truck met us at the entrance to this side road, and the view was a lot different with the Fall colors:
Our walk along the section of the Landing where we spotted the moose this summer looked very different as you can see from these shots:
The sun was shining and the temperature reached 80 degrees. The blue sky was a nice contrast to the colors of the trees and mountains. The water was so still it looked like the mountains and trees were reflecting in a mirror:
We hiked along the section of this Landing that we hadn't walked before. We took some shots of each other while walking along this tributary of the Snake River:
and we even met a young couple on the path that we chatted with for awhile and took photos of each other. Here is the shot they took of the two of us:
In all, we hiked about 4 miles and enjoyed the hike about as much as any hike we have taken this year. It was such a nice day, we drove to another turnout along the highway going back to town and snapped this photo:
One last drive around the loop road to the town of Kelly and where the barns are located produced this final shot of the mountains from one of the barns on Mormon Row:
Our only full day off together this week was terrific. The day was beautiful in all respects, and was an appropriate ending to our hiking season at Jackson Hole for 2014.
Josie is back to work this morning for her next-to-last overtime shift of the season. I will do some shopping and get the truck gassed up while she is at work and maybe even get some outside cleaning done on the rig. There aren't many more nice days ahead before we hit the road in about 10 days...
