Jackson Hole, Wyoming




J
ackson Hole here we come!!







Bear Lake

Yes, the water is really turquoise! It is by far the most beautiful rest stop we make. It's in route from Utah to Wyoming!








Snow King Mountain


Riding up the chair lift to the top of Snow King.



Looking back as the others are getting onto the lift!




A view from the top, Jackson Hole in the middle!







The Tetons-- aren't they AMAZING!





Lauren and Allie getting ready to jump off!


Another amazing view, it's really hard to believe that it was really right in front of us!




Riding back down, it was very relaxing watching the scenery around us!

Volley Ball Teams

I'm sure you have all heard of the ever famous 320 Guest Ranch Volleyball Tournament! This year they are so excited about the tournament! The teams are already preparing. They used some of their free time in Jackson Hole to make jerseys! They had a blast and got quite creative. Trust me, there will be many more of these pictures to come!











Salt Lake City, Utah

Mormon Tabernacle Choir

We could only take quick pictures before and after the choir performed because we were there for the live broadcast. The broad cast is the longest running live broadcast anywhere! It was the experience of a lifetime!







Canyon Lands, Utah

As we drove through the Canyon Lands we enjoyed the amazing views, but we also found a way to be a part of the USA world cup soccer game! Everyone in the group wanted to watch the game so the chaperons found the game on the internet! There was one small problem, not everyone on the bus could hear from the small laptop speakers. Then, what I can only call a group effort we solved our problems. First someone passed forward the pink and white peace speaker in the picture. That only helped the people sitting in the first 5 or 6 rows hear the game. Then, Chris piped up with a really good idea, we put the bus microphone to the speaker box and instantly the bus filled with the soccer game commentary! Unfortunately, we didn't get to celebrate a win for USA! Still, our ride turned into an awesome group activity.




Following the game on live update, this was in overtime!




The set up! This is also where the bog happens as we ride along!



Arches National Park, Utah

The group enjoyed a hike up to the "windows" in the park. You can see them in the distance climbing on the rock formations and taking pictures. At first the group wasn't really sure what to think about the extremely hot national park, but after hiking up to Windows they were excited about the experience. Check out the amazing views from the trip through the park.







Taking a picture break.





This is called Delicate Arch. We didn't hike all the way to this one, but did stop at the over look.
