MOUNTAIN CONDITIONS UPDATE - JULY 22, 2023

Backcountry trails and popular climbing routes are overall in good condition. Snow levels have receded across the park, and most divides and passes on the Teton Crest Trail are dry. Trekking poles and micro spikes are useful but are no longer necessary across Paintbrush Divide. Buck Mountain Pass, however, still holds a steep snow crossing.

Buck Mountain Pass - 7/19

SUMMER WEATHER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED-JULY 9,2023

 We are finally experiencing proper summer weather here in Grand Teton National Park.  Valley temps have been reaching the mid 70's the last few days and high temps at the lower saddle have been in the low 50's.  With more warm dry weather in the forecast the time is now! Get out and enjoy it!

SECTION OF VALLEY TRAIL CLOSED - JULY 1, 2023

 Effective immediately, a section of the valley trail is closed due to an active Goshawk nest.  Hikers have reported numerous "dive bomb" attacks.  Closure is from the Taggart Loop Junction to the Death Canyon Junction.  See map.
