Sample Itinerary
DAY 1 Saddle up and ride from the North Leigh trailhead
along Tin Cup Creek or from the Teton Ridge Ranch barn. As we cross the
open meadows, you'll want to stop and admire breath-taking views of the
Tetons. We'll make our way down a steep spot on the trail but the reward
is an exciting view of this spectacular canyon. From the ridge
separating South Leigh Canyon from Granite Basin, we'll drop down into
our secluded campsite at Dead Duck Lake. The horses love to graze the
lush meadows near camp.
DAY 2 We'll saddle up and day ride
to the divide. You can stop along the way to take pictures in the
wildflower meadows and fish in the high mountain lakes. Enjoy a relaxing
lunch as you look over into Jackson's Hole and Teton Basin. And, if you
are game try hiking to the top of Little's Peak.
DAY 3 Our day trip today will take
us over into South Leigh canyon to view the peaks from the ridge below
Fred's Mountain. We will experience some steeps trails but our views
will offer upclose views of the Grand Teton. An absolutely beautiful
day!
DAY 4 This day perhaps we'll venture back down
the Tin Cup trail but cross over the creek and do a loop ride on Beard's
Mountain.
DAY 5 Our last day, after breakfast
we'll pack our gear and head home through Green Lakes. Enjoy a beautiful
picnic along side this beautiful high mountain lake. Our last hour enjoy
the views of Teton Basin as we leisurely ride home to our original
starting point. A perfect day for the completion of this pack trip!
