Grand Teton National Park may be one of the most beautiful and
awe-inspiring parks of the Rocky Mountains. The craggy Teton peaks reach
as high as 13,770 feet, forming a bony ridge through Wyoming along the
Continental Divide. Fronting the Teton Range lies the twisting and
curving Snake River, winding its way down the Jackson Hole Valley. The
reflections of the Tetons gently ripple across the river's serene
water.Now in its 5th edition, Day Hikes In Grand Teton National Park
includes a thorough selection of 89 day hikes throughout this national
park and around the town of Jackson. The hikes include easy-to-follow
directions and are well organized by region, making the valley and
mountain range easily accessible for everyone. The book offers many
options for hiking--from exploring a short distance from the trailhead
to climbing thousands of feet in elevation through canyons that lead up
to fantastic vantage points. Highlights include lakeshore paths,
cascading creeks, rock-walled canyons, panoramic overlooks, waterfalls,
hot springs, fishermen trails, prime wildlife habitats, North America's
largest landslide, and two hikes atop the Jackson Hole Ski Resort. The
hikes range from well-known destinations (like Jenny Lake and Jackson
Lake) to quiet, backcountry trails.The author has written extensively on
Montana and Wyoming hiking trails and has personally hiked all of these
trails. Companion guides include Day Hikes In Yellowstone National Park
and Day Hikes In the Beartooth Mountains.
