Climbing the North Teton Trail

From Driggs, Idaho, take Ski Hill Road east through Alta, Wyoming, turn right on Teton Canyon Road, and drive about 4.4 miles of gravel to the North Teton Trailhead. The North Teton Trail climbs the North Fork of Teton Creek through meadows, switchbacks up a cirque headwall to the ridge, and joins the steep Face Trail before the final climb. The trail is Class 1 until a steep, loose talus summit block with a short Class 2 scramble. Snow can hold on the north slopes until mid-July, and early-season creek crossings may need wading. The upper ridge is fully exposed to storms. Expect crowds on summer weekends.
