| Heading Out It was just another Sunday afternoon with not much on the agenda. I decided to get out a bit. My first idea was to climb Rammell Mountain in the northern end of the Teton Range. This would be a quick peak with only about 2 miles and 2000 feet to the summit from the trailhead. However, since I was alone, I decided against this because of the mountain's proximity to grizzly country at the north end of the range. I decided to save that one for later. Table Mountain was a peak that I'd had bad luck with in the past and never got around to summiting. There is a good trail system up the peak, and the views are supposed to be incredible. So, I decided to head into Teton Canyon and do it. I knew that I'd probably have to hike out in the dark, but with a trail the navigation would be easy. Instead of the regular route, I chose the Face Trail, which gains altitude quickly, and I would at least have some kind of nice view in case I decided to turn back before dark. |
