Bridger–Teton National Forest spans roughly 28,000 km² from the Wind River Range to the Big Sandy River. Its centerpiece is the Teton Range, including Grand Teton peak at 4,209 meters, and the syn‐glacial basins of the Jackson Hole valley. The forest seamlessly connects with Yellowstone National Park to the north and shares rich alpine ecosystems, but each basin and trail corridor offers distinct character. Visitors come for backcountry hiking, climbing, wildlife viewing, and transient alpine camping—while nearby gateway towns provide services and shuttle access. Prepare for rapid altitude gains, variable weather and large, changing landscapes where trails may vanish or intersect unexpectedly.
