ワイオミングの絶景の山頂・トップ19

Sharp climb.

Ride the scenic Teton Park Road for stunning views of the Teton Range. This paved route runs between Moose and Jackson Lake Junction, with wide shoulders and epic photo stops. Watch for wildlife crossings, carry water, and enjoy the classic backdrop of rugged peaks and alpine lakes.

Once you have left the busy Grand Targhee resort behind you, you will be immersed in a wonderful mountain landscape that stretches along the Bannock Trail to Fred's Peak and Summit Trail (above the "Dreamcatcher" cable car). Fascinating views of the Grand Teton and Teton National Park, often along the ridge, never too steep but occasionally a little exposed; always 360° panoramic views! Attention: Fred's Peak is not "the summit" as shown on the map, but directly above the cable car top station!! (which is also a little over 3000 m high!!); Nice bonus: the descent on the quiet chairlift, which in summer is mainly used by downhill riders as a feeder to the starting point, is FREE for the descent! Caution: never(!!) use the downhill trails as a hiking trail; extreme risk of accident!!

From this pass, you can access both Jackson Hole in Wyoming and the Teton Valley, offering stunning views of both. It's an ideal starting point for your hike, as several trails can be accessed from here.

Medicine Bow Peak sits at 12,013 feet (3,662 m) in elevation, and the trail to reach it is entirely above treeline. That means it's exposed to the elements and the weather — so although it may be a trail runner's natural inclination to go lightly and with minimal equipment, make sure you're prepared to deal with bad weather if it happens. The US Forest Service even recommends traveling here in the morning, as weather patterns tend to be even less stable in the afternoon.

Medicine Bow Peak sits at 12,013 feet (3,662 m) in elevation, and the trail to reach it is entirely above treeline. Weather can change quickly and dramatically at this elevation, so even the US Forest Service recommends hiking early in the morning, as the weather can be even more variable in the afternoon.

At more than 10,400 feet, lies Rendezvous Mountain in the middle of the Teton Range and offers spectacular views of the area! Even though that experience is impossible to top, many people agree that there is a way of making it even more unforgettable: just try one of the waffles at Corbet's Cabin and you will know what they are talking about.

Old Pass Road is now converted to a more gradual access trail parallel to the new Teton Pass road, without car traffic.
