![]() ![]() The next morning, we left Justin’s Subaru and Alex’s Tacoma at String Lake, piled into my F-350, picked up our gear rentals in Jackson, and parked at Phillips Canyon Trailhead, halfway up Teton Pass. We watched a beautiful sunset over the Tetons and slept in our vehicles that night. ![]() ![]() The evening before our hike, Clay, Joe, Justin, Alex, and I all met up at a disbursed camping spot near Grand Teton National Park. From left to right: Joe, Clay, Justin, Max (the author), Alex Summary I did my best to reassure everyone that we would be fine. There was some trepidation about this from the group, but I went ahead and reserved ice axes and crampons from Teton Backcountry Rentals. He told me we would need ice axes and crampons to climb over the passes, which were still covered in snow. Finally, a week before we hit the trail, I got ahold of a ranger. Leading up to the trip, I wanted to get an up-to-date snow report from the backcountry rangers but couldn’t get in touch. The group was more interested in the TCT, so I applied for permits in April and got ’em! At the time of me writing this, we are three weeks away from hitting the trail for this.Īdditionally, I suggested the Teton Crest Trail or Southern Sierra High Route. Justin suggested we do the Uinta Highline Trail again, except in four days and in reverse, from Mirror Lake to Leidy Peak. In our group chat, Clay messaged, “So what’s the summer backpacking trip now that the JMT is out?” In March 2021, Jason broke the news to Justin, Clay, and I that we weren’t awarded permits for the John Muir Trail. Passes: Phillips Pass, Fox Creek Pass, Mount Meek Pass, Hurricane Pass, Paintbrush Divide.Camp Zones: Middle Fork, Death Canyon Shelf, North Fork Cascade Canyon.Route: Phillips Canyon Trailhead > String Lake Trailhead. ![]()
