A slow climb, a water crossing and then the view opens: the Grand Tetons cut into the sky like a row of knives, snow-edged and relentless. Riders steer through stands of Douglas fir and lodgepole pine, the horses' hooves tapping old logging roads and braided creek channels. Birds wheel above; Willow Creek threads downhill toward the Snake River, daring you to notice the pace of the valley.
