Vagabond Tales- Hiked Around String Lake

August 20, 2022 The Grand Teton National Park Signal Mountain Campground

Every day while here we have noticed a slight haze over all of the scenery. The rangers explained they were being effected by the fires in California.
We were hunting for moose this morning with Finn.
No moose were spotted, even though this is a favorite hang-out of theirs.
We were able to walk Finn around some parking lots and he asked to have his picture taken by these golden flowers.

We wanted to get out and hike today so we left Finn in his kennel and we hiked around String Lake and up to Leigh Lake. Needless to say…we finally got our steps in. It ended up being a total of 4 miles. We saw deer, ruffed grouse, a chipmunk and squirrel, some humans portaging their boats from the String to the Leigh lake. It was a wonderful afternoon hike!

String Lake
String lake was pretty shallow.
She was only about 5 feet away.
Leigh Lake
Tail end of blueberry season! So many wild bushes.
They are larger than the wild blueberry bushes we have on our mountain.
This river was feeding the two lakes.

  1. What great pictures of the past several days. God’s creation is so amazing and breath taking. Thanks for sharing. Love you both. Dad, take care of that ear infection!

    1. Harry is taking his medications but with the elevation he still has some pressure. The campsite tonight had a nice dog run. We went against doctor’s orders and let him off lead in there. He was by himself and we didn’t run with him or get him riled up. Still a bit lame but he has been feeling pent up…guess that is because he has been pent up. The trip has been great! Seeing so many new things! ❤️

      1. Continuing to pray for Harry’s ear to clear up and Finn’s sprain to heal and for continued good weather and safe travels! Love you all

      2. We have been so blessed on this trip! The weather has been amazing! Although it is warm during the day…the evenings are always cool enough we don’t have to run the air conditioner at night. I was thinking of your Mom yesterday, Diane…Did she do race walking in the senior Olympics? I was trying to remember. We have a friend now who is doing open swimming in the senior Olympics. Your dad was doing something, too wasn’t he? Maybe I am misremembering. Love you!❤️
