Dear Friends and Readers,
Pukka and I just returned from our spring trip on the Green River through Labyrinth Canyon in Utah. It was quiet and restorative, with lovely campsites in hidden side canyons. We hiked among wildflowers, woke to the song of Canyon Wrens, and rowed for six hours a day, Pukka of course swimming often. (See the photos below).
Many of you have written, saying that you will be visiting Jackson Hole this summer and would like recommendations for things to do. Below are some suggestions, many of them dog friendly (indicated by a DF). At the end of the list is vet care, if needed, while you’re in the valley.
Have fun and alll our best, Ted and Pukka http://www.kerasote.com
