Climbing Route Conditions

In the summer, this section provides updated route condition information for popular climbing routes and approaches in Grand Teton National Park.  

Please be aware:
  • Many of these approaches and descents remain snow-covered throughout much of the summer season.  
  • The ability to properly use an ice axe and/or crampons may be required to ensure safe travel.  
  • Consult more than one guidebook and visit the Jenny Lake Ranger Station for additional information. 
  • Make sure you know your descent route!
  • Trailhead parking lots are extremely busy places in July and August!  Expect popular ones to be full by 9:00 am or earlier!  Carpool when possible or consider procuring a hiker shuttle/taxi service from the town of Jackson to avoid frustration and causing damage to adjacent vegetation.  Camping is not allowed in parking lots.
