Back in 2008, a backcountry ranger in Grand Teton National Park told me about an area in the park's northern section, Moose Basin. He said the mountains, lakes, and scenery around the basin, and south to Paintbrush Canyon, was spectacular country. And there were no trails through there. He...
Here is a video from a 4 night backpacking trip I did this summer in the Tetons. I spent one night in Paintbrush Canyon, the second night at Grizzly Bear Lake, the third night in Cascade Canyon, and the fourth night up in the saddle between Leigh and Moran Canyons. I wrote a trip report for it...
Here is a trip video from a 4 day backpacking trip I did with @scatman this past October. We hiked up the Arizona Creek trail in Wyoming's Teton Wilderness. A little bit of snow fell on the third day when we hiked up to the lookout tower. You can read @scatman 's trip report about it here...

Trevor and I got a chance of a life time this weekend. An all expenses paid, 1st class trip to Jackson Hole WY to ski in an upcoming film for Tribal Snowtools! What a great way to start off the new year! This weekend was an adventure from the get-go! The powder was perfect, the accomidations...
This is a 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip I did in Yellowstone National Park. Saturday, October 25th through Monday, October 27th, 2014. I hitchhiked up to the Heart Lake Trailhead, hiked in to Heart Lake, then down to the Snake River, and followed that out to the South Entrance. It was...
I headed out on my last backpacking trip over the Columbus Day weekend; our destination was Arizona Creek in the Teton Wilderness. We (Brian, Cory and I) would drive up from Salt Lake City, hike in about five miles to Bailey Meadows to make camp, continue on the next day to Brown Meadows to...
I did this 3 day backpacking trip back in July. I figured I would post a report in light of the recent bear attack that happened somewhere in the Cub Creek drainage a few weeks ago. But on this trip, horses would create more problems than bears. Trip map can be found here...
I did this short, 3 day backpacking trip about a week ago in Grand Teton National Park.
I started out from String Lake, and headed towards Cascade Canyon. The weather was perfect, and the leaves were starting to turn colors as I hiked around Jenny Lake.
The fall colors around Jenny Lake...
I don't know how many pictures is too many, so here they are. I went to Grand Teton and hiked a loop from the Granite Canyon trail head, five days, about 56 miles. I'll tell you about it.
I got to the park early after sleeping in my car at a gas station parking lot just past Idaho Falls. Good...
This trip took place in mid July, 2014, in the northern section of Grand Teton National Park. We started along the Grassy Lake Road, hiked in to Moose Basin, and then traveled off trail thru the Glacier Lakes area, into Snowshoe Canyon, over to Ortenburger Lake and Moran Canyon, and then over...
Last Thursday I started a trip into the Tetons. My friends Ryan and Ria, who work/live in the park, were celebrating their 1 year wedding anniversary, and managed to get 4 days off. It was also Ryan's birthday, and he wanted to go to Grizzly Bear Lake. Ria had never hiked over paintbrush...
When passing through Teton Valley after a few days mountain biking near Jackson, my kid noticed on the map a trail leading to a peak, with a description stating this lofty vantage point the finest place from which to see the Grand Teton.
Immidiately excited we swung the van up Teton Creek...
Total distance covered was about 62 miles……The complete Teton Highline (Crest) route, not the shortened Tram ride route.
Day 1 - Drove to the parking area for the Cascade Creek trailhead on the Ashton-Flagg ranch Road. Started at the east end of Lake of the Woods on a trail less section. This...

This was my big trip this year. Our starting point would be Death Canyon ending at Jenny Lake. We were planning a leisurely pace of 6 ish miles a day.
Camp one. The bear canister is sitting by my tent. Its weird to think you can actually shove a weeks worth of food in these things - It was...
It was the first time visiting Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Grand Teton National Park's western neighbor, for Nick S., Mandy, and myself. Not the most talked about wilderness area in the region, so we didn't have a ton of beta to go on. Just a topo and couple of inspiring Google images of an area...
