Watch the Sunset over the Grand Tetons

Alta, Wyoming

Description

Get ready for the most majestic sunset over some of the coolest mountains in the country.

Get ready for the most amazing sunset of your life! As you enter the Grand Teton National Park, you will want to jump on Teton Park Rd. (it's $30 to get into the park if you do not have a pass). From the moment you get on the road, the views will be absolutely incredible.

However, if you drive for about 20 minutes, you will come to the base of the mountains. Once you get there, the rays will cut through the mountains and leave you with an awesome sunset.

Pull your car up, have a beer, and enjoy the incredible sunsets!

Whether you have your own canoe, kayak, or stand up paddle board or you need to rent, paddling the String Lake and Leigh Lake circuit is a less beaten path through Grand Teton National Park.

Here, you can rent your water v...

Leigh Lake via String Lake Trailhead

Leigh Lake is absolutely stunning with about as many recreational activities as you can imagine for a lake. It is a short flat one mile hike from the trailhead at String Lake to Leigh. Once you get there can go as far along as you wish along the 2 mile lakeshore. You can also Kayak, Canoe, or SUP with a small well marked portage from String Lake if you wish. Once you get there, the lake has nu...

Paintbrush Canyon Loop and Leigh Lake Overnight

There are many ways to access the Teton backcountry. However, one of my personal favorites is from Leigh Lake via the String Lake trailhead. From the backcountry office obtain a backcountry permit for 2 nights at Leigh Lake. Site 12 has some of the more impressive beachfront views of the Front Range. Begin the hike at the String Lake Trailhead (6,880 ft.) Hike along the East side of the lake a...

Paintbrush Canyon to Holly Lake

This day-long adventure takes off from the Paintbrush Canyon Trailhead. The trailhead is located north of the very popular Jenny Lake along String Lake Rd. It took us about 7 and half hours including an hour lunch break to hike up and down from about 6,900 feet to 9,300 feet, an early start is definitely recommended. Once at the trailhead you will walk down a paved path for about 300 feet wh...

Mount Moran

Mount Moran’s CMC Route is best climbed by starting at String Lake’s boat launch. From here, pack up your overnight and climbing gear into your kayak or canoe and start your journey north on String Lake. At the end of the lake, portage a few hundred yards to Leigh Lake and continue your paddle north. You will come to a large bend where Moran is visible to your right and you will be able to make...
