View From the Top

This evening we took a drive to the top of Sawtelle Mountain. It has an elevation of about 12,000 feet and the view was incredible. On our last day of vacation we had Wendy's dad drive us all to the top of this mountain and we ran back down. It was about 7 1/2 miles. It was a good way to take in all the scenery. Half way down we had a thunderstorm blow in and rain on us a little. This is a view of the Teton's from where we were standing. At the top of this mountain is a Station owned by the airforce. It was an air traffic control site. The name of the station was obviously named by men and will not be repeated here, but the guys got a kick out of it. If they would have stepped back one step they would have been rolling down the mountain.







This is a view from one of our other hikes.
