Grand Teton National Park Climbing & Backcountry Information: 03/22

View of the Cathedral Group from 25 Short - 3.19.22

Tomorrow marks the first official day of Spring and the valley is desperately clinging on to the snow that remains. Patches of dry ground are starting to appear in a few low elevation southerly aspects! Yikes! Road crews are cutting out the Teton Park Road and warmer temperatures are starting to have an impact in the afternoon. In the high elevations of the Teton Range winter still reigns supreme, with about 15 welcome inches of snow accumulating during the past week. The snow pack in the high elevations is highly variable, and in many places shallow as well. Expect a variety of crusts at many elevations and on most aspects.

Please remember to check the latest avalanche forecast before you venture out!

You can also check out our GTNP snowpack summaries to get a sense of how the snowpack has evolved this season.

Stay safe out there!
