Hikes - Bannock and Devil's Stairs

On Thursday morning (7/26), I went out to Tetonia for a run with Susy.  While running, we realized that we both planned to be up at Targhee that afternoon, so we planned a way to get all the kids hiking together - and even planted the idea for Corbin and Jeff to bike together.  Things got started a bit late, but we (barely) caught the chairlift up before it closed at 4pm.  Susy, her sister Wendy and I hiked down Bannock (about 4 miles) with all 7 kids.  This was a milestone for Maggie (6) and Tim (5).  Maggie was pretty tired by the end, and was questioning whether or not she wanted to do the next hike (planned for the next week), but she was proud of herself.  We met Corb and Jeff on the plaza - they biked Rick's Basin and Shoshone.  A good day for all!

The next morning I hiked Devil's Stairs (out and back) with Kath and Martha.  Nice views, good conversation, and even a little running (due to rain and the fact that we lingered a little longer than expected at the top)!




That afternoon, we biked to the creamery for ice cream, then Saturday was a fun day back up at Targhee - relaxing at the pool with the Greens, then dinner on the deck of the Trap!
