June Expedition Update

What began in the desert at the Grand Canyon has turned into a minor odyssey to escape a late spring heatwave that bubbled up out of northern Mexico a few weeks ago and raised temperatures 10-20 degrees across the southwest and beyond. In Zion before the hot swept in we enjoyed highs is the mid to low eighties, and as we fled north into the rocky mountains it hit 106 degrees.

Soon after arriving in the mountains we were greeted by this dawn at Grand Teton National Park. The ground squirrels were still in their burrows when this light hit the clouds over one of the iconic log barns out on Antelope Flats east of the range.
