In this episode, I'm joined by a special guest...my dad! Together we hike the the Jenny Lake Loop in Grand Teton National Park. This 7 mile hike (plus the 1 mile construction detour we hit,) is a beautiful amble through the woods with stunning views of Jenny Lake. The trail is rolling in a few places but there's no real elevation gain. Coming along the east side of the lake, the trail is only a few yards from a a paved one lane road for about a mile. We only passed one car but expect a to see a lot more traffic if you hike this closer to peak season.

There GTNP,,, and other wilderness hiking areas beside Bear Spray is a hiker allowed to carry a gun for Bear protection ???

Each state has different laws, but the NPS does not allow firearms. So if you're in GTNP you'll need to leave it at home, in the car, or in the RV and just bring your bear spray.

Guns are allowed in national parks. Just follow proper etiquette...

Interesting, thanks for posting that. In the Tetons, the firarm may not be discharged (unless you're hunting, with a hunting license), and cannot be used as a wildlife protection strategy.

AuthorSteve and Tess love to explore nature, whether it be backpacking, packrafting, mountain biking, hiking, or just wandering. The more we explore, the more we realize just how little we've seen. Archives
