Grand Teton is a skyline you feel in your ribs. The range shoots straight up from sage flats with lakes strung at its feet like mirrors. Sunrise at Oxbow Bend, a paddle on String Lake, elk bugling in autumn, then alpenglow that stops conversation. The park is compact, photogenic, and endlessly hikeable.

As I sipped my morning coffee, I left the treelined neighborhood of Elmwood and drove down Hampton Road in Dallas, Texas. Just off the corner of Kiest, I pulled off the cement streets and onto an earthen two-track lane that led me to the trailhead of the Kiest Conservation Area.
