On the summit of Pleasant Hollow Mountain el 7906' this view is NE across Teton Basin to the west slope Teton Range. Here The Grand, Middle, and South Teton align like shark's teeth, which is how the men of the Hayden Survey described them. 1/2/95.
Summit Kelly Mountain el 6805', view SW toward Idaho Falls, 2/27/09. For the past several years I have maintained a cairn on the spot of the 1947 USC&GS triangulation signal. It started out as a 2' pile of rocks. Vandals would knock it down in the summer, and each fall I'd build it up bigger and better. So, now we have a 7'-8' monument.... kinda like Jack and the beanstalk.
