For a lowlander from Seattle the initial climb is brutal (800' climb from 8500'?!) but the views are brilliant! This is definitely more of a cross country trail with no real obstacles, berms, jumps, etc. Per the locals I met, watch for moose and be sure to practice your "hey bears!"
| ThankVery impressive trail. The access is so great if you can get a lift to the pass. Nice easy climb passing epic views of the Jackson basin. Did this in mid-July and the shrub was so thick and tall I was literally mowing it with my knuckles. Nothing overwhelming... just a fun, fast DH trail with a handful of small drops and opportunity to catch a llittle air.
| ThankGreat trail in the Jackson area. Starts with a stiff climb but ends with a great DH. Bring a bell for bears.
| ThankRode this without suspension 20 years ago as a big loop out of Wilson. Still lives on my Top 10 Ever list.
| ThankBest trail on Teton pass. If you do the ride with a shuttle. The trail starts with @1.3 mile uphill climb. 1 small section of hike a bike for most. View into the Jackson Hole backcountry from the top of the trail is awesome. Downhill has some tight turns to start. Roots and root drops are on the trail. Once it hits the tight canyon you enter a heavily treed area. Some small creek crossings followed by a nice run out back to the shuttle ride.
