Grrr, sorry for the messy formatting in the first post. Cleaner:
A work trip is taking me to Jackson, WY from October 16-19th. Hoping to tack on a personal trip to the Tetons. While I have a 100mi route mapped out, the Teton Crest Trail (~40mi) is the route I’ll go for logistic reasons!
Starting at Phillips Ridge TH; finishing at Jenny Lake.
Questions:
- Easy to hitch to Phillips Ridge TH from Jackson? Don’t want to take the tram although it’s logistically easier–I got legs!
- Is there a way to get from Jenny Lake to Jackson, WY? Bus, park or resort shuttle, etc.? Open to hitching if there’s no other way–will there still be enough tourists on a Sunday in mid October to find a ride? (Was thinking of staying at the Jenny Lake Lodge at the finish because I can walk right in and they give free rides (!) to Jackson. But their season ends a week before I’ll be there.)
- What temps can I expect in the Tetons (8-10k) in mid-October (11-15th)?
- Thinking of shipping my bear spray via USPS ground to a Post Office with general delivery and picking it up there.
Any and all advice or leads appreciated!
