There’s no better way to explore the rugged country of the Tetons than hiking along the Teton Crest Trail – you’ll find mountain forests, jagged peaks, alpine meadows and wildlife aplenty. The Teton Crest Trail is quite possibly the premier way to experience the Tetons. Not for the inexperienced, this trail takes hikers forty miles through the Jedidiah Smith Wilderness and Grand Teton National Park, over alpine passes, past mountain lakes, across Death Canyon Shelf and through Alaska Basin.
