"8/29/23: Original plan was for Paul and me to pack in on Sunday, summit on Monday, and pack out on Tuesday from Mistymoon. A last minute weather check promised a miserable summit day with low ceiling, rain at lower elevations, and snow above 12K. We decided it best to wait it out a day and pack out after summiting on Tuesday making it a long but doable day. After finding a lucky campsite at West Tensleep CG, we packed in on Monday just as the graupel and then hard rains were unleashed. By the time we reached Lake Helen the rain became intermittent and then fairly clear and we were allowed to fully enjoy these spectacular, large alpine lakes. We passed a few camping parties by the time we got to a prime campsite on the west bluff of Mistymoon Lake. I can’t picture a more beautiful place to spend the night! We decided to ascend via the long SW ridge of Cloud taking an almost directly north approach to the nose of the ridge after fording Paint Rock Creek at about the 1.3 mile mark. There are some fairly easy ramps to negotiate on the way up while creating switchbacks and staying in Class 2 territory. At about the 10,600 contour there is a long diagonal ramp that we were planning ..." — LoneWolf • Aug 29, 2023
"8/25/23: First day of the Bighorns/Crazies camping road trip with Paul. Started up Mosier Gulch TH and bushwhacked up Grouse from the trail high point/saddle near the Grouse Mtn TH. Nice Bighorn Foothills warm-up. (7.7/1770)" — LoneWolf • Aug 25, 2023
"Great day out up Jackson Peak. So green after all the rains. 360 views from Jackson taking in the Snake Rivers, Tetons, and Gros Ventres. Dog ran off on way down and had to backtrack a bit. Its GPS collar said it traveled 18 miles during the hike. Huge energy. " — scott • Aug 10, 2023
"Stormy morning with rain and wind gave way to a decent day and a summit in the Tetons. Left the car at 4:30 up into hanging canyon then a fairly straightforward scramble ascent to the top. Some low class 5 if you get off course or have to go around the snow patches but nothing death defying. Summit at 8:30." — oregon-mt-goat • Jul 11, 2023
"May 31, 2023. A nice day with lots of wildflowers in bloom. I started to continue on the trail past the highpoint, but came across a female black bear and two cubs. Backed away and gave them space without incident." — runningvegan • May 31, 2023
