I felt the loss when my oldest son left for college last August. I knew I would need something to look forward to. I’ve always found solace in nature, so I invited three friends to join me for a week of hiking in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We hit the well-known places in Grand Teton National Park, like Jenny Lake and Inspiration Falls. But some of our favorite hikes were off the beaten path. Many times, we had the trail to ourselves.
