THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.
We drove to Half Moon Lake near Pinedale WY to hike part way along the Half Moon Trail. We ended up going out abut a mile and then back on a morning of mixed rain and snow. The fall colors were pretty.
We had some views of the lake.
And some red colored leaves in a few spots.
It was a lovely trail for a short hike.
This is about where we decided to turn around.

We drove to the south end of Fremont Lake in Bridger-Teton National Forest near Pinedale Wyoming to walk around the CCC Ponds before an incoming storm this afternoon. The north half of the trail/ponds are in the National Forest and the south half are in BLM land. Our route was 1.8 miles.
After crossing a bridge and reaching the loop we went in a counterclockwise direction. First we went by the Duck Pond.
Returning to the loop, the trail passed the Beaver Pond,
and continued along Duck Pond.
A short side trail led to Frog Pond.

We found some lovely fall colors on the Marsh Pond Trail.
We drove up to Teton Pass in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming to hike the Black Canyon Trail to Mt Elly, 4 miles round trip with 800 ft of gain. View of Mt Glory across Teton Pass
The trail alternates between open ridge line and in the forest. Here we had a view to the east looking down at Jackson Hole.
Views of Mt Glory further along the trail on the ridge line.
