My expectations going into this eight mile float were pretty low if I’m being honest. I was excited to float through the Snake River and soak in the beautiful canyon views, but being towards the end of the season with low water levels I didn’t anticipate big rapid hits. Xavier, our stellar guide, was wrapping up his season today with us being his final float. His outfit solidified my assumptions: jeans and a sweatshirt. You could tell this wasn’t his first rodeo.

After the sun goes to sleep, head back to the lodge to eat a tasty dinner at the Red Fox Saloon. They have a pretty dialed menu to choose from, take a pick it’s all delicious. Sharlene mixes up a mighty nice cocktail so do yourself a favor and order one or three. Don’t worry about driving, walk your butt back to the cabin.

Boy oh boy does that 5am alarm clock come early; especially after a night of closing down the saloon with the amazing lodge staff. For my next sunrise of the trip I drove over to Mormon Row.

Once my face was stuffed I was ready to start my first big adventure of the trip: Delta Lake. This hike is about 8 miles round-trip with a little over 2,000 feet of elevation gain. After you scramble your way to the top, be prepared to lift your jaw off the ground because the view is breathtaking. Pat yourself on the back or high five a friend because you earned it! Find a nice rock to soak in the view and even take a nap if you wish. I highly suggest jumping in the lake, but consider yourself warned: it’s freezing!

After you made it back down from hiking, go find yourself a spot to watch the sunset. My first evening there I chose to drive over to Jenny Lake. Before arriving at the lake, I found this stretch of road a friend suggested to check out. Found a parking spot, hopped on top of my car and starting shooting the sunset. Two rad college kids ended up stopping as well, one guy jumped out of the car onto a skateboard and started shredding down into the sunset. One of my favorite parts about traveling is meeting people. I love it when the world aligns and these types of situations happen organically.

After sunrise, drive into the town of Jackson to grab yourself a well-deserved breakfast and much needed coffee. There is a great selection of wonderful restaurants to choose from. I found myself posting up at Cowboy Coffee Co. to warm up after the chilly morning and do some photo editing.

Once you arrive at Togwotee Mountain Lodge, try your best to not get trapped there by your cabin's charm. Quickly get settled in because it’s time to get out and explore the endless adventures awaiting you in the great outdoors.
