Had a fabulous time and the trails were wonderful. Went in early August. Missed the mosquitos but the deer flies on the trail were viscous. We finally combined several different fly sprays and cut some pine swatters and that helped. We camped at several spots in this area and it was like that at all of them. Rangers said it was because of an extremely wet spring.
Beautiful, majestic and super peaceful spot. Best relaxing place if your just want to totally disconnect from the crowds in Gran Teton and your electronic devices 😜 We found this gem by luck! I want to go back next year to camp longer. It was wonderful you guys! No showers but a refreshing river can be found really close for a quick cleaning (no soap used here)😁 It has bear lockers to store your food if needed. Plenty of room between campsites. Running water and fire rims too. The host is really helpful and friendly, has some cool stories to tell. Remember to claim your site and put the receipt in the pole by the campsites!
