Table Rock

This last weekend Scott was able to go with some guys in our ward to Table Rock. He had a great time! They backpacked up to just below table rock Friday afternoon, and then were up at 4am to hike to the top to watch the sun rise. It was about 14 miles round trip. Here are some pictures...

They all stopped for a while by this river for a break.
I think it was that night that they ended up about 20-30 feet away from a big moose. They noticed it facing them on the trail. Some of them were backing off to a safer distance, but Scott and, I heard, a couple others just stood there snapping pictures. I would have been backing away! Luckily this moose didn't seem to mind them. phew! I actually had to lighten this picture up a ton to be able to see the moose at all in the picture.
Some of them on Table Rock right in front of the famous Teton peaks at sunrise.
Gorgeous...
I just love this picture, but I'm not even sure which direction the camera was pointed in.
All of us wives and our kids went to the trail head to surprise the men with lunch when they got down. While we were waiting we saw a moose coming down the trail and we decided that just in case we should head towards the cars which were just right there. On the way we lost sight of it, and then as I was opening the door for the kids I saw it down off the trail just like 20 feet away and heading closer. I shoved my kids in the car and then the moose started trotting away. It ran straight past where our chairs were set up that we'd been sitting in. The moose didn't seem that concerned with us but I'm still glad we moved! You never know! I'm not gonna lie that I was really excited at the same time though. My whole life I've wanted to see a real live moose in the wild. So cool!
