Trip OVERVIEW
- One-way, point-to-point route along the beautiful Teton Crest trail in Grand Teton National Park (sorry, no dogs allowed).
- Plan on arriving the day BEFORE we begin hiking in and it would be wise to NOT plan on catching a flight on the same day that we exit as we can't guarantee the exact timing
Please Be Aware...
- Weather, wildfire smoke or other hazards may cancel this trip.
- Backcountry camping permit has already been obtained by trip leader from the national park and we aren't be able to add additional people.
Trip COSTS
- Participants are expected to arrange their own travel and pay their way to Wyoming and for any lodging there.
- Arriving the day prior to this trip's start date in order to participate in the group check-in & avoid travel snafus is required.
- Participants are expected to pay their share of the camping permit and any trailhead shuttle service arranged by primary trip leader.
- Your registration will be canceled if you do not pay these costs to primary trip leader - costs will be shared in advance.
Get stoked!
