TO THE SUMMIT OF WYOMING

Greetings all,

Yesterday I took on the quest of climbing Table Mountain, which can be found in Targhee National Forest in Wyoming.  From the summit, you're face to face with the Tetons from the west!  

Through the pictures, you can follow the venture from the trailhead to the summit of Table Mountain (11,106FT).  Also, I included a brief narrated video from when I was approximately half way up.  I still had some air in my lungs at this point to share a few words.

This climb was in honor of Mrs. Peach and the entire Peach Family.  RIP Mrs. Peach and thanks for keeping an eye on me out here in the west.

Today I will rest.  Next up, the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park
