Teton National Park: Standup Paddle at Jenny Lake

SUP is the new "ski bumming"-esque hobby with the catch that you must have flat abs. Considering my excitement level to adopt all adventure sports as a hobby, Justin had strategically kept me away from SUP for nearly 2 years after it hit big. But now, it was time. Even Justin couldn't say no as we basically got to rent the paddle boards for 3 days for the price of 1 day AND got to use them on a bright sunny day in the magnificent Tetons.

If you're vacationing in Jackson area and are up for an independed adventure, sans large groups, this is a great and safe activity. Also, there are no mythical strange creatures that live in the depths of Jenny Lake, so if you topple over, you can easily swim back to your board. We rented the paddle boards from Rendezvous River Sports and made sure they were inflatable paddle boards. While they are a pain to inflate (or a solid workout - depending on your perspective), they are highly compact and can be driven around in your grandma's sedan. 

Believe it or not, there was NO one else on this stunning weekend day on Jenny Lake. Pro Tip: September is a great time to visit the area when the rates are cheaper and the crowds are lighter but the weather is still as good!
