Camp in the Gros Ventre Wilderness

Camping in the Gros Ventre Wilderness is nothing short of incredible. Not only do you get away from the sometimes crowds of Grand Teton National Park, but you can bring your pups as well! You have views of not only the Tetons from some spots, but also the Gros Ventre Range. You do not need a permit for backcountry camping, so you can set up anywhere -- they just ask that you select a site 200ft from a lakeshore so the opportunities for solitude can be maintained (how cool is that!). There is also ample fishing, hiking, and an actual campground in the area.And don't forget the wildlife! In one day, I saw bears, moose, elk, caught a few fish, and a whole slew of marmots :) To get there, head to the Gros Ventre Campground, then it’s about 10 miles from east of there, but honestly, there are a lot of little pull outs, and I just drove (about 10 miles) until I could see the Teton Mountain Range behind me.
