Hi! I’m going solo Labor Day weekend I’m a 30F and would love to join a group for a hike or multiple hikes. I’m so scared to run into a bear 😭 first solo trip

I have a trip coming up soon at Jenny Lake Campground and was wondering if rooftop tents are permitted? I’ve heard both yes and no so wondering if anyone recently stayed here with a rooftop tent?

I’m doing a big camping roadtrip to Wyoming this upcoming week and saw it’s suppose to rain the whole time 😭 I know it’s good for the smoke but am bummed out ha any advice on what to do with the gloomy weather? Or if I should change my plans? I’ll be sleeping in my rooftop tent, traveling with my dog, and don’t have a canopy or anything

Went through some stuff earlier this year and need a breathe of fresh air. To preface I am going on a solo trip and am very active (avid gym/runner) but haven’t really hiked a trail like this before. I really want to hike up the mountain and get some elevation but research has shown that it can get pretty snowy/icy at that time of year. If I could I would hike the whole 42 miles around the loop. I would love to see some fall foliage and snowy peaks and the active wildlife. The cold doesn’t really bother me and I don’t plan on camping / backpacking. I will be staying in Jackson probably at a hotel/motel/hostel. Im flying into Jackson airport, renting a jeep/subaru, getting bear spray/spikes/groceries and basically try to catch a breathtaking sunrise/sunset everyday. I know I should probably choose a different time of year but between work and the kids this is the only weekend I have available for the rest of the year. I’m just concerned about wasting a trip after being so excited about it because of weather conditions. I plan to do horseback riding / guided wild life tour as well. I’m not silly enough to risk my life as a father of young ones but I’d love to hear some opinions of people who have traveled there at this time of year or locals! Thank you for any input and information. I’ve included a list of all the trails I’d like to hit:

Cascade canyon
Lake solitude
Delta lake
Amphitheater lake
Jenny lake loop
Taggart + Bradley lakes
String + Leigh lakes
Hidden falls + inspiration point
Phelps lake loop
Lakeshore trail
Bear paw + trapper lake
Paintbrush canyon

Hi! I'm a non-US resident visiting Grand Teton NP in a few days with my friends. We would like to arrive at Jenny Lake early in the morning (before 7 a.m.) but we do not have the America The Beautiful Pass yet. Is it possible to buy it in person this early in the morning or do we need to buy the digital version? Or is anyone even checking the passes this early?

Thank you!

Hi I will be visiting Grand Teton over labour day weekend. Will it be difficult to get backcountry permits for Cascade Canyon and Paintbrush Canyon loop hike? Was planning on getting permits for labour day (9/7) itself.

HORSE BACK RIDING****

I have never been and would love to try when I visit Grand Teton or in Yellowstone. I am driving through both and have flexibility. any suggestions on places or companies? Traveling with one other person!

On another note- a friend told me there are Facebook pages where people pass on their bear spray (and other items) is this true? I am flying into jackson and flying out of bozeman
