We are still in Jackson and thoroughly enjoying ourselves. We went to the Jackson Hole area and rode a tram to the top of a 10,000 foot mountain. It was way cool both literally and figuratively as the ground was still completely covered in snow. It looked like it was still winter up there, quite a bit different from the near 100 degree weather we were having in Houston. The temperature itself was not too bad but the 20 to 30 mph wind gusts made for an interesting hike around the summit area. We could not go too far as most of the trails were covered in snow, but we enjoyed what we managed to explore. We ate at a little shack that sells waffles with brown sugar that were yummy. All in all it was an amazing experience.
When we rode the tram back to the bottom, we still had some energy to walk around through the woods near the bottom. Jenny made us walk around yelling at each other to make sure we did not surprise any bears. I must tell you it feels a little odd. We had an enjoyable walk, and then went back to town for an early dinner. We ate at the Sweetwater Cafe, and we were both a little disapointed with the food. Well, I am a little tired now, so I am going to sign off. I am looking forward to rafting the Snake River tomorrow.
