Teton Grand Traverse Beta by Mark Smiley

The Grand Traverse punishes route-finding mistakes more than it punishes fitness — a wrong gully out of the Gunsight costs you hours you don't have. This is my beta for the route: a GPX line with waypoints and 20 photos with the route drawn right on them, so you can send this amazing route your first attempt.

See gear recommendations below:

First CHECK THE WEATHER to dictate if you need a big big puffy or just a big puffy.
