| Goal for Day 1 - Top of tram to our designated Granite Canyon camp - red dot. |
Our planned hike the first day was not very ambitious - about 5 miles. We took the Jackson Hole Resort Tram up to the top of
Rendezvous Mountain to find the Rendezvous Mountain trail that will connect to the Middle Fork Cut Off spur trail; this would hook up with the Teton Crest Trail (TCT). Whew!! Easier than it sounds. The official trail head for the TCT is Teton Pass off of RT22 to the south. What we did is a common "cheat" to get to the TCT quickly. We did not feel bad about it at all. Great ride to the top.
The National Park service offers a great map and additional information for the Teton Crest Trail and other trails within the Grand Teton Park. This is key to your planning.
