Grand Teton National Park


Grand Teton National Park Highlights

  • The iconic granite spires of the park crown an arena rich with trekking trails, backcountry ski routes, vertiginous mountaineering and rock-climbing routes, and rolling pavement perfect for two-wheeled exploration.
  • A classic Tetons overnight 19-mile trek starts at the mouth of Paintbrush Canyon near String Lake, crossing the Paintbrush Divide to exit the mountains via Cascade Canyon to the south. It passes two exemplary alpine lakes and a host of campsites.
  • Climbing the Grand without a guide is for expert mountaineers only. Exum Mountain Guides is certainly the gold standard for guided mountaineering trips in the Tetons. The guides of this 75-year-old climbing school par excellence are credited with many first ascents.
  • For a smooth-grade ride through sagebrush, bike the Antelope Flats area east of Highway 191. You pass through some prime bison-spotting territory and past the historic and picturesque Moulton Cabin.
  • About a mile into the Stewart Draw drainage approaching Static and Buck mountains is a prominent wall on the canyon’s south side with several climbing routes. The 5.7-mile Spegelo Nero route ascends the formation’s east face via three pitches and some good crack climbing. There is also good bouldering in this area.
