Cousins' Reunion 2011 - 9/5/11

We spent the last night in Livingston, MT in the cabin at the lower level of Wineglass Mountain. We really enjoyed a fire in the morning. We packed up and headed south toward Jackson, WY. This time we moved one more valley to the west as we bypassed Yellowstone. We stopped in Ennis and Ashton as we headed back to the Grand Tetons. We climbed over the high pass and dropped into Jackson before ending up in Teton Village for the next two nights.
