06 | 15 | 2014: The Lakes Balloon Loop / by Dani Perrot

On June 15, we did a fun run from the Jenny Lake Visitor's Center, north along the eastern shorelines of Jenny Lake, String Lake, and Leigh Lake to Bearpaw Lake, and then back to the crossing at String and Leigh where we crossed to the western shoreline of String and ran back to the car along the west shoreline of Jenny. Most notable was the giant amount of avalanche debris on the west side of String Lake from a massive slide that must have come off of Rockchuck Peak during the sketchy winter season. The trail was mostly covered with downed trees and snow for more than half a mile. No wildlife on this one, unless you count lost tourists.
