Keep in mind, this is the hiking trail that many Jackson Hole locals pop up basically on a daily basis--it's kind of like Austin's hike and bike trail. Oh, except it's at 7000 ft above sea level and it's COMPLETELY VERTICAL. Like, switchback, followed by a switchback, followed by a really steep switchback....you get the idea. Several people jog this trail (crazy) and I swear I saw the same woman pass by us 3 times, meaning she was doing it multiple times in a row (also crazy). But, despite my grumblings and having to make numerous stops to try to get my breathing to return to something resembling a normal pace, it was well worth it. Here's the view from the top of Snow King, looking down over Jackson and toward the Tetons.

Leya at the top--she's an old pro at this trail now!

Proof--I really did climb it! :)

It was a fun experience but I talked Leya into a much flatter hike today...I think my legs will be thankful for that!

How fun! Good for you girls. What a beautiful view! And love R's encouragement. :)
I love that R is so supportive - too cute!
Shelly is not mentioning that she climbed that mountain in 49 minutes seat to saddle. That's impressive even for locals. Reese is right to cheer!
