The In-Between Land

I'd like to hike the Jackson Hole Loop but I don't think either one of us have the 12 miles in us so I've been looking for a shortcut from straight up the river and cross over to the road hopefully cutting off a couple milss each way. We might be able to do that. We haven't been able to find a way from the lower level by the river up to the top to cross over and join the loop road in Jackson Hole. On this day Teresa goes with us. We hike all the way up the river to the Pot Ash Boat Ramp across the river and we can't find away up. When I stopped to take some pictures Jax laid down. He's never done that before. We're both in our 70s and it shows. We never found a way up.
