There is a little
gap in the ridgeline between the Wedge and Mount Meek that offers a
staggering view down into the depths of Teton Canyon, with the South
Teton Shelf lying just a few hundred feet below. I had passed that way
only a few days earlier, having no idea how beautiful the land atop
the cliffs that I walked beneath really was. In the top photo, the Cathedral
Group in Grand Teton National Park soar into the sky, with streamers
of early morning cloud wreathing the peaks. Hurricane Pass, between
Alaska Basin and the Grand, is visible against the mist in front of
the Cathedral Group. I didn't know it at the time, but on the day I
made this hike, my doctor and old running buddy was summiting the Grand.
