This afternoon, Sarah, Mary Beth, and I explored and scoped out some sites for teaching later this week with the Snake River Montessori School. For Wednesday, we were focusing on natural disturbances and hydrogeology/geothermal activity in the Tetons. So we scoped out the Kelly Warm Springs and the Gros Ventre Slide.
For a full-view stop of the Teton Mountain Range and the Gros Ventre Slide, Mary Beth suggested that we should all take our students to see the Wedding Tree.
I had not been there before, so I was pretty interested on what this place was. Since I was on Outreach in the Fall, many local areas are still NEW to me, since our places to take students were pretty limited in the Winter.
Getting to the Wedding Tree was really simple. You just follow the main road past the Kelly Warm Springs into the Bridger-Teton National Forest driving like you were to go to the Gros Ventre Slide Trailhead. Instead, make one of the first rights for the first pull off where you can see a great view of the Gros Ventre Slide and take a 2-minute walk to the most beautiful viewscapes I have ever seen.

The view was absolutely amazing and not to mention, the trees on either side are quite remarkable too! They are over 300-years old! So cool!
