Crooked Canyon Stables

Grandpa Humpherys has a new business this year- Crooked Canyon Stables. He is doing trail rides at the Grand Targhee Resort. Shawn, Hayden, Hadley and I went up there to retrieve some trailers for him on 6/22. It was a good little trip. We left right after church and Hallie stayed with Grandma. There was still quite a bit of snow up there. The kids instantly loved the place. Here is a picture of the corral area and the little cabin on the property:


Hayden had fun riding the 4-wheeler around the corral area. Shawn got a GPS that is also a 2-way radio for anniversary/father's day and he and Hayden had fun talking between it and Hayden's "walkie-talkie". Hayden had the radio while he was on riding around. We were sitting on the porch of the cabin when Hayden get's on the radio and says "Dad I'm stuck, Dad I'm stuck" (he has to say everything twice on the radio). He really was stuck too- right in the snow.

Dad and Grandpa were busy doing.. something but don't worry Mom to the rescue. Once free it was put to good use again by our children. They helped Grandpa feed the horses and had a blast doing that as well.


Before we left Grandpa was able to give us a tour of the resort and introduce us to everyone that he had met thus far. We are waiting for him to hook us up by the end of the summer with freebies.

Dear Humpherys Family, Just wanted to let you know that my daughter and I took a trail ride with your grandpa at Grand Targhee resort today. He was delightful to chat with and we had the best time riding Spirit and Buddy. He got a kick out of the fact that we had run upon your blog while Googling "Crooked Canyon Stables" and asked that we send you a comment. Mr. Humpherys will be a fond memory of our summer vacation for years to come. God bless you,
Cindy and Cameron from Houston, TX.
