Teton Crest Trail

The Teton Crest Trail is a 40-mile (64 km) long hiking trail which extends from Phillips Pass on the border of Bridger Teton and Caribou-Targhee National Forests to String Lake, Grand Teton National Park all in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[1][2][3] Though the Teton Crest Trail can be accessed from Teton Pass, starting the hike from the south is most easily done by riding the gondola lift located at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to the top of Rendezvous Mountain. From there it is a 32-mile (51 km) multi-day trek to String Lake, passing in and out of Bridger-Teton National Forest twice, traversing the Death Canyon Shelf and several high passes including Mount Meek Pass, Hurricane Pass and Paintbrush Divide. The trail also wanders through the high alpine meadows of Alaska Basin in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and from Hurricane Pass, the west side of major peaks of the Cathedral Group as well as Schoolroom Glacier can be easily accessed.[4]
