Before I left the campground and all the ladies from the trip this morning, I was cleaning my sunglass lenses.
They were sprinkled with whitewater spray residue from the dayâs prior epic rafting adventure.
This simple post-trip act of cleaning the glacier-fed river off of my sunglasses left me sad/happy/overwhelmed/wanting more time.
But in a good good good way.
Despite the series of events leading up to me getting there at 7AM on Saturday, this weekend was incredible and I still cannot believe I have the opportunity to do/experience things like this.
It was a jam-packed 48 hours spent adventuring through the Grand Tetons and learning its history, hiking around Jenny Lake & Taggart Lake, meeting a moose from afar on the trail, sipping coffee in the morning chill, exploring the quaint and lively town of Jackson, sitting around campfires eating sâmores, sharing meals on long picnic tables, laughing and storytelling, whitewater rafting on the Snake River, and sleeping in tents at the Snake River KOA.
In addition.. making lifelong memories and lifelong friends.
THAT is what these trips are about. Incredible and adventure-loving women coming together from all over to play outside, climb mountains, overcome challenges, face fears, and build community.
Everyone came from a different city, different background, and different experience level.
And yet, we all fit perfectly together.
Like little puzzle pieces, destined to join.
I ran off of stoke, caffeine, and gratitude the entire weekend and I wouldnât have had it any other way.
Thank you ladies for being you, being brave, being courageous, and being part of a lifelong sisterhood.
Never stop exploring. Promise?
HEART FULL. âĽď¸
