Fan H.
Teton Adventure
This photo was taken on my birthday on July 23rd. I was turning 15 and it was the second day of our backcountry kayaking trip on Yellowstone lake. Our group had to split up due to Yellowstone National Park's backcounty camping regulations. We had planned to make cheese cake for my birthday but a storm seemed to be forming on the background and everything started blowing around. Just as we were finishing up the cheese cake the 2nd group...staying a campsite away started singing happy birthday and thunder starting getting louder and louder. It is a picture I'll never forget and a birthday I'll always remember.

When we saw it, two boys were already at the camp, and while they were pulling their kayak up to shore the moose walked in. The rest of us only saw it from the Lake. but it was still very exciting because it was the first moose we had seen all trip! The person in this picture is Josh, our sea kayaking guide.

Kristina T.
Alaska South Central Adventure
This picture was taken on the second session of the Alaska South Central Adventure (July 20-August 9) while backpacking in Denali. According to Michelle, one of Kristina's leaders, her only goal was to have a peek at Denali. It was cloudy for the first few days of backpacking until one morning...the group woke up from a restful night of slumber and this was their first glimpse of the impressive peak. Kristina was at a loss for words.
