On our day off yesterday, Gregg and I hiked up Garnet Canyon to The Meadows.  At 9400 feet, it’s often used as a staging area and campground for climbers about to attempt the Middle Teton.  This mountain had been a looming presence in so many of our hikes, so it was incredibly cool to get this close to it and chat with some folks about to climb it — including a chance encounter with a pair of old Williams classmates who were on their honeymoon!
