It doesn't take long to learn that Jackson Hole locals do things a little differently. Maybe it's because we're surrounded by some of the most gorgeous wild places in the country or maybe it's because we live 6,000 feet above sea level and the altitude makes us a little loopy from time to time. This year, it could be the first shining sun we've seen since October that has us rushing to take advantage of those famous Jackson summers.

Whatever the reason, us Jackson-ites definitely love to be outside, from dusk 'till dawn, as often as we can. Yesterday, two born-and-raised Jackson high schoolers put even some of the area's best athletes to shame as they headed into Grand Teton National Park just after 4:00 a.m. Why? To catch a true mountain sunrise before plunging into one of the park's many pristine lakes. The girls darted along the trail for three miles before arriving at the appropriately named "Inspiration Point."

After they watched the sun crest the surrounding peaks, in true Jackson Hole form, the two went a little crazy, possibly intoxicated with fresh air and stunning views, and lept into the barely-not-snow-cold water below. Their morning celebration of life in Jackson is one we should all embrace as we head into the throws of summer, with the Solstice just around the corner.

As these two will tell you, when it comes to summer in Jackson, get up, get out, enjoy and, when you find yourself atop a rock along the bank of a fresh-water mountain lake, JUMP!
