CLOSURE LIFTED ON BAXTER'S PINNACLE - JULY 30, 2021

Effective immediately the closure on Baxter's Pinnacle is lifted and climber's can now approach and climb on it.  

We have experienced a pretty significant shift in the weather pattern the last couple of days, and the trend of infiltrating monsoonal moisture and isolated, potentially heavy afternoon thunderstorms is expected to continue into next week.  Pay close attention to afternoon cloud build up and get down if it looks threatening as these cells have the potential to be deadly.

The Paintbrush Divide delays are ongoing - see flyer in previous post.  The Jenny Lake Ranger Station is open daily, from 8am to 5pm.  Please stop in and see us for the latest information on conditions prior to your trip into the backcountry.  The visitor centers in Moose and Colter Bay are also open, and park information and backcountry camping permits that do not involve climbing can be obtained at these locations from 8am to 5pm.  Backcountry camping permits and bear canisters are required for all overnight trips into Grand Teton NP.
