Cows at Jackson Hole

I call Curtis to see if he's pushed the cows down Lockhart so I can open the cattle gates. He says yes but he's missing some and have I seen them. I aay I haven't but over the next few days Jax and I will go look. So the following morning Jax and I drive the Polaris with a front window out to Jackson. It's still kind of cold and that one has a little more ground clearance. Jackson Hole took a beating like I did with the last storm. It's a 12 mile loop. Four miles out to the loop intersection, four miles around, and four miles back. We park at the loop intersection where there are seven cows.
As we're hiking around the loop we see the hiking trail going up the Amasa Back called Jackson Ladder where the shade is in the picture. It's also a bicycle trail but it's a "hike a bike". In the second picture high up above on the ledges is the Jeep trail Cliff Hanger. Hard to imagine.
Back to the side by side. Plan on hiking from town next month at some point. I do that and I'm back to where I was before the summer illness. So just four miles on this day but I feel pretty good and found seven cows.
