Tram To The Top

On our second day in Jackson it was a slow start. Nathan being ill and sleeping late; breakfast and showers that we need to worry about. We didn't even get on the road until 11. But today was a specie day we would travel to the top of a mountain and take in the amazing views of Wyoming. To the top is a huge tram that runs every 20 minutes. It can take you all the way to the top of the ski resort. The town is pretty much like any other ski resort. But the top of the mountain is like something I have never seen before, even living is Colorado. We travel very slowly up to the top with a few jerks of the tram ahead of us. I am able to see the grey bike and hiking trails criss-cross each other down to the base of the mountain. We make it to the top with a 360 degree view of the whole valley. The new trail is made out of rocks. I can feel the uneven, jagged and slippery rocks below the souls of my feet. With my amazing view we are able to see the Grand Tee-Tons to the right of us. Just over a small collection of ranches and fields upon a hill happens to be our hotel. All that my eyes can see is a vast never ending Alpine tundra of trees plants and animals. I can't help but to feel sorry for the backpackers as I overhear them talking about a seven day 46 mile trip. My father said " How about a four mile run around hike?" Hiking is highly overvalued part of exercise in my eyes. I am excited for all of my relatives to come tomorrow. I am feeling as if I am at the top of the world. Unfortunately being on top of the world means chest and head pains. I admit I was a total wimp but it was all worth it finally coming down to the bottom of the mountain slowly falling asleep in the car. Well relatives of mine I hope we all have a great time in Jackson. I wish smooth sailing to you all.
