Teton Crest Trail, Death Canyon to String Lake in four days
The whole crest without the tram: up Death Canyon to the Shelf, across Alaska Basin and over Hurricane Pass under the Grand, down Cascade Canyon to Lake Solitude, then Paintbrush Divide and out. 39 miles, three nights above 2,800 m, and a division on the divide for the years the north side holds snow into August. Bear canister country.

Permits & bookings
Agencies, costs and booking links carry across seasons; the application windows don’t, so they arrive blank and fill in the moment you give the plan dates.
The derived kit spec
8 lines, derived from the route rather than typed by hand. 3 read unknown until the plan has your dates — that is honest, not missing.
Divide is a planning platform, not a guide service — even when guides publish here. Conditions change, and the decision on the day is yours. Read the safety disclaimer.
