Delta Lake + Surprise & Amphitheater Lakes hike, Grand Teton NP (8/21/2022)

- 8/21/2022 ("Teton Winds" road trip, day 4 of 10) One trailhead, three lakes. What a deal. Yet the unsanctioned Delta Lake draws way more attention than the other two for obvious reasons. Hikers negotiate unmarked trails and boulder fields just to see Delta's stunning turquoise blue water against the soaring Disappointment Peak as backdrop. You can't take a bad picture here. On the other hand, Surprise and Amphitheater, the two emerald green alpine lakes where the official trail leads to, receive much fewer visitors in comparison, at least on the day I was there. But in time, as the glacier fades, Delta's turquoise blue will too, when it's no longer young. So visit while it lasts. Here's a link to my "Teton Winds" Road Trip playlist --    • "Teton Winds" Road Trip (Aug 2022)   ======================= "Teton Winds" Road Trip ======================= Just finished a 10-day road trip to Wyoming. Minus flying and driving, I had 8 consecutive days of hiking, including 4 days in Grand Teton National Park and 4 days in the Wind River Range. In the end I was real happy, as the quality of the hikes on this trip is through the roof! Wyoming is out of this world. GRAND TETON N.P. -- My last visit to the Tetons in 2006 was brief. I didn't do any hiking then, only drive-by shootings. But I was impressed, and knew I would be back for more. So finally in 2022 I planned this trip to do nothing but hiking. WIND RIVER RANGE -- The Winds are backpackers' heaven, but an inconvenience for day-hikers, as most of the iconic views are deep in the wilderness, miles away from trailhead. I managed to hike some of them, barely scratching the surface. SLC vs IDA -- For my itinerary, Idaho Falls would be the ideal city to fly into and start the journey. But post-pandemic car rentals are expensive, and I couldn't find any car remotely reasonable in Idaho Falls. So I booked my flight to Salt Lake City where rental options are plenty. This saved me about $600 but added more than 250 miles of driving to my road trip. Here's the itinerary -- Day 1 (8/18/2022, Thu) fly: LAS to SLC drive: Salt Lake City, UT to Idaho Falls, ID, then to Teton Canyon overnight: Teton Canyon Day 2 (8/19/2022, Fri) Table Mountain loop hike drive: Teton Canyon to Jackson, WY, then to Jenny Lake overnight: Jenny Lake Day 3 (8/20/2022, Sat) Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon loop hike overnight: Jenny Lake Day 4 (8/21/2022, Sun) hike Delta + Surprise + Amphitheater Lakes overnight: Jenny Lake Day 5 (8/22/2022, Mon) hike Lake of the Crags overnight: Jenny Lake Day 6 (8/23/2022, Tue) drive: Jenny Lake to Pinedale, WY hike Sacred Rim drive: Pinedale, WY to Green River Lakes overnight: Green River Lakes Day 7 (8/24/2022, Wed) Green River Lakes loop walk + Clear Creek Canyon drive: Green River Lakes to Pinedale, WY, then to Big Sandy TH overnight: Big Sandy TH Day 8 (8/25/2022, Thu) hike Cirque of the Towers overnight: Big Sandy TH Day 9 (8/26/2022, Fri) hike Temple Lake drive: Big Sandy TH to Farson WY, then to Rock Springs, WY overnight: Rock Springs, WY Day 10 (8/27/2022, Sat) drive: Rock Springs, WY to Salt Lake City, UT fly: SLC to LAS Total distance hiked = 97.9 miles Total elevation gain/loss = 20,850 feet
