Easter weekend
Apr. 7th, 2012 11:12 pmIt's hard to go from this:
to this:
In one day. Just saying. The fact that my son broke his foot the other day has nothing to do with the cancellation of any hiking plans we may have had. My sister is in town and with all the nice weather (see Figure 1 above), we were looking forward to some outdoor exploration. Alas. We tried to go up to the Johnny Sack cabin in Island Park, but there was actually slush on the main road halfway through Island Park. The road to Big Springs was plowed--until it wasn't. We ended up in parking lot where, if we'd had a snowmobile (that's a snow machine if you live in Idaho), we could have taken off and explored, but we didn't. We tried Harriman State Park nearby--no dice. Without snow shoes (not to mention the crutches), we couldn't navigate the deep snow. So...we came home. Well, it was a scenic drive, anyway.
At Mack's Inn (midway through the 20 mile stretch that is Island Park):
Tetons from Ashton, which is the first town when you pop out of the mountains and down into the Snake River Valley:
It's supposed to hit 60 on Sunday, and near 70 on Monday. Hopefully that means it starts melting in the mountains soon. I want to go hiking--no more snow!!
