Backpacking the Tetons
8
Don't expect any breaks, from the trailhead it's all uphill. But the payback? Rolling
glades alight with wildflowers, snow-lipped ridges and clear alpine lakes − some of
the most luscious, life-affirming scenery in the Tetons lies a day's hike in − and once there,
who wants to hurry home? Backpackers can spend a week on the popular Teton Crest Trail,
rambling over the lofty spine of the Tetons. The shorter - but still challenging - Alaska
Basin has fistfuls of summer blooms and Dall sheep as your companions.
