Day 9: Grand Tetons

We drove south to the Grand Tetons, and arrived at Teton Village just in time to catch the aerial tram on its last day of operations before closing for the summer season. We hiked about five miles around the top of Rendezvous Mountain along the Rock Springs, Top of the World, and Corbet's Loops.

This is Corbet's Couloir. Skiers jump down this run when it's covered in snow. Pretty much a straight vertical fall. I was impressed.
