Hike to Table Rock

We hiked to table rock on Tuesday.  We were hiking it a day earlier than Kirk and Marlayne because we had to leave the lodge early to make it to my Grandpa Perkins' viewing Wednesday evening.  It was just Greg, Brennan, Scott, and I.  We were able to go a bit faster with just the four of us.  The first two miles of that trail are soo steep though, it's pretty slow going at the beginning.
The trail head sign:
Face Trail
Trail Not Maintained
Very Steep
Not Recommended

The best view of The Grand Teton that we got.  It was in the clouds most of the time.

It was SO cold hiking.  It was windy and we were in the clouds.  It felt about 30 degrees.  My hands and arms were numb and hard to move by the time we got to the top of Table Rock.  I also had water squishing between my toes every time I took a step.  The snow was slushy in places.



A big rock field we had to cross.  At one point I lost my balance and fell forward into the rocks on my knees.  Ouch!
