Entry/Exit point.Yesterday we took a trip up to Teton Canyon in hopes of scoping some boulders I saw back in spring when I snowboarded Boy Scout Chute, nestled in the cliffs behind the Boy Scout camp (hence the name).
Well, we didn't make it to the boulders due to underestimating the distance, terrain and inclement weather. It was a little much for 3 year old Madi, even though she wouldn't have minded continuing on, but we didn't feel like making it into a possible epic. However, the kids enjoyed it and as long as we're all together it doesn't really matter what we're doing. I'm just appreciative of Brittany putting up with my constant urge to keep exploring the nooks and crannies of our outdoor playgrounds, looking for a possible new area to climb at.
I have reason to believe that the area has already seen some action, so I am eager to get back there and check things out. Ethan told me he's game for the next recon out there. Sweet.
