This is the ultimate hiking and camping expedition of the stunning Green Lakes region of the Jedediah Smith Wilderness.  A long but dazzling day of hiking with big Teton views, about seven miles to camp with over two thousand feet of elevation gain.  From base camp near 9100 feet it's a day hike and scramble up Little's Peak (almost 11,000 feet) or Saddle Horse Point.  Moving camp to the upper Green Lakes we thread our way up the Teton Crest Trail.   Day four, Crow's Nest, another fun scramble.  This produce's 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains ranges and three different states:  Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.  You will experience an over load of wild flowers and alpine views.  This five day journey is consider strenuous.

Yellowstone National Park -Bechler/Dunanda Falls
This region of the park offers large open meadows, wildlife, geothermal features and cascading waterfalls. Not far from our beautiful Boundary Creek campsite is the magnificent Dunanda Falls. At the foot of the falls are natural hot pools that invite you to soak in their warm waters. Our day hike takes us to several of the Bechler’s many beautiful waterfalls. We don’t make promises, however, the fall colors can be phenomenal and you might hear the elk bugle on this trip. You can’t beat autumn in the Bechler! Easy to moderate hiking. Plan your visit to include the Fall Arts Festival in Jackson Hole. Contact our local Chamber for the Festival details.

TRIP #6: Sept. 15-20 (6 days)
Mr. Bubbles  - Yellowstone National Park
Leaving the Bechler Ranger Station we hike up the stunning Bechler Canyon to Three Rivers Junction enjoying the meadows, forests, waterfalls and great hiking. From camp, it's just a twenty minute hike to one of Yellowstone's great backcountry treasures...a thermal pool in which you can soak off the trail dust. You'll feel the earth trembling beneath your toes as geothermal heated water bubbles up from the underwater vent, mixing with the cool river water to produce a luxurious outdoor spa some thirty feet in diameter. It doesn't get any better than this. This trip has been contracted by the Sierra Club.  For more information go to Sierraclub.org or contact Paul Minkus at pminkus@comcast.net.
