Backpacking Grand Teton
Backpacking Grand Teton
Backpacking in Grand Teton late August 2010. Crowded, money, how much?

I plan on doing this as a 1 week back pack. Is realize there are established campsite but what are the regulations on back country camping? How much can I expect this to cost aside from airfare? What are the best books to read to plan this properly? THANKS

Forget about it. It gets way crowded by August. (I used to go up there every summer to escape the brutal Texas summers).

Furthermore, there is no place to fly into that will not cost you an arm and a leg, such as Jackson, WYO.

The most economical is to fly into Idaho Falls, ID ($730 and up during summer from Houston), rent a car and drive 2.5 hours to the Tetons.

The area has been overrun by folks from California.
