 Cliffs of Medicine Bow Peak
loom over Lake Marie by mtncorg
At the summit of the pass, a viewing platform lets you take in the Libby Flats, the massif of Medicine Bow Peak and the valleys to the east and west of the range. Mirror Lake and Lake Marie offer grand phtoto opportunities with dark blue waters and steep mountain cliffs.
Lots of campsites exist in the area. One popular trail - the 3 mile long Medicine Bow Peak trail climbs 1600 feet to the 12013 foot top - highest in southern Wyoming - and fantastic longranging vistas. Leave a Comment

 Grand Teton above Cascade
Canyon from Table Mtn by mtncorg
Those 'some' would be wrong. there is a magic trail, that is somewhat less-known. Most hikers will push up Cascade Canyon from the east. It is a pretty hike, but lots of people and the views don't come close to the other trail. That trail is the Table Mountain trail - supposedly one of the 'best 50 trails in the US' according to Backpacker Magazine, but that is a somewhat misleading article in that they try and place a trail per state in their top 50. So, Table Mountain would be the equivalent of the top trail in Michigan or even New Hampshire. That would not be true, but my object would not be to get too many people on the trail, for selfish reasons. I would want this trail all to myself.
The trail is about 12 miles roundtrip and you access the trail from Driggs, Idaho, about 30 miles from Jackson, Wyoming. At the one traffic light you turn east, toward the ski area of Grand Targhee and drive several miles until you see the turnoff for Table Mountain. The trail winds up, through meadows and winds up atop Table Mountain, which is straight across - maybe one air mile - from the Grand. Cascade Canyon lies 2000 feet below you. You get a very intimate, but very detailed look at the entire Teton Range - from the west. Best pictures for hikers of this trail is in the afternoon. It is truly magic up there, you might not want to come down :-0 Leave a Comment Address: Table MountainDirections: Turn east from Driggs, Idaho, towards the Grand Targhee Ski Area and look for signs, to the right, for Table Mountain.

Two of the best hikes in the park and considered the premier overnight hike can be done as a long day hike. Leave a Comment Directions: Start at String Lake in the Tetons and start by walking up the Paintbrush Divide Trail. It's steep but easier going in this direction and down the Cascade side.Other Contact: Buy the usefull Teton Trails at

You can drive to various viewpoints but much better to walk to escape some of the crushing crowds! If this hike were secluded it would be absolutely amazing. Now, you just have to deal with the people but the scenery is still special. Leave a Comment

 The Grand Tetons from the Park
Road by mtncorg
You could even get closer to the mountains by taking the Teton Park road, which even saves you a couple of miles when you are driving hard - either north or south, there is no east or west across the Teton Range. But you won't be able to cruise at 75 mph:-\ A quick aside, as a child, my father took the family through Yellowstone and Teton parks on part of our vacation. We had started the day Livingstone, Montana, and we drove through both parks in one day, stopping that evening in Jackson, Wyoming. We did get out of the car, briefly, at Mammoth Hot Springs (they were much more active and spectacular then), and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone; we saw the obligatory bear by the side of the road; witnessed an eruption of Old Faithful; we had a great late afternoon view across to the Tetons as we cruised through the July heat. I can honestly say ...... take more than a day to see this stuff!
Closer to the mountains is the Park centrale. Along the shores of Jenny Lake, you will find the Visitors Center, the main campgrounds, the busiest trails. Even with all of the people, the mountains stand apart in their grandeur. Waiting for you to experience them closer. No cheering crowds here when the geyser erupts. You will have to drive another hour north for that. Leave a Comment Address: Grand Teton National ParkDirections: North of Jackson and south of Yellowstone
