At Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park with Timm. After driving most of the day with little stops through Yellowstone and Grand Teton, we set up camp, changed and parked at the Jenny Lake main center. It was very cloudy, clearly a t-storm was looming in the late afternoon. We ran west around the lake and toward the Inspiration Point trailhead, passing a lot of hikers hustling in. By the time we were at the Inspiration Point/Cascade Canyon junction there were enough hikers to slow us down to a hike. So we hiked up the canyon about an hour, saw a huge moose, then hiked back down and took the trail down to the water. Then a nice 5-mile run around Jenny Lake north-to-south past the String Lake trailhead. Great trail to run, and at that time of evening we had it nearly entirely to ourselves. My groin got a little cramped at 7 miles or so, so we slowed it down and hiked the last 1/2 mile. brooks cascadia |
