The Teton Crest Trail has been called the best back packing adventure in North America. I first heard about it several years ago when researching Teton hikes in a Falcon guide book. The description of the trek was so complimentary that I decided then and there that I was going to do it. I just didn't know when. Then when this trip came I knew that I had to find the time to do it. Only problem was I couldn't get a permit for any time earlier than late September. I arrived in the Tetons at the end of August and warm dry days and cold nights continued all the way until my permit dates. I had great weather for the hike, too. All 37 miles and 6 days were enjoyed without rain and just a little snow. This is one of the few backpacks that I would absolutely do again. And by the way, Day 3 from Death Canyon Shelf to Cascade Canyon South Fork was one of the best days of hiking I have ever done. It's definitely top three all-time. Right up there with Laguna 69 in Peru and the Kalalau here on Kauai.
