Itinerary description

Awesome three day hike over one of the prettiest bits of the Teton Crest Trail. We were with some youngsters and non-hikers, so took it nice and slow over three days.

Outlier Camp Site

Outlier Campsite: This campsite offers stunning views down the valley and up to jagged peaks; filter water in the stream that runs across the trail. Next, continue up steep switchbacks and follow rocky trail through an area littered with boulders and rock debris to a spot resembling a couloir (towering rock walls rise on 3 sides).
