Jackson Peak 10,741': My first real summit
Our goal
Goodwin Lake, the usual stopping place
Off trail scramble up the hillside to the ridge
Nearing the summit, looking toward the Gros Ventre mountains
Final push up the rocky ridge to the unofficial summit rock pile
Adding my rock to the pile, Tetons in the background
Came home to a gift of a trumpet from a friend. First time I've played in 12 or 13 years.
Awesome day!

Failed attempt for Disappointment Peak, GTNP
Made it above Amphitheater Lake to the saddle (approx. elevation 10,500')
Decided to climb this pinnacle to the Southeast of Amphitheater Lake instead
Was way too scared to get any closer to the edge, but looking down the other side of the ridge into Garnet Canyon (see previous pics) and out to the valley and Taggart Lake
