2 Day one night Good water loop Teton training

This is a two day one night loop around lake Georgetown. This is a fairly flat 29 mile hike but some areas can be very rocky so hiking poles are recommended. This is a beginner friendly trip but the miles may be hard on some. This trip is highly recommended for those signed up for the Teton backpacking trip as a shakedown hike. We recommend to have a pack weighing around 30lbs to simulate an actual wilderness multi day trip.

We will be starting at Jim Hogg park going counterclockwise. Making a stop at Tejas for lunch and to refill water. Then over to Sawyer or Cedar Hollow camp for the night. The next day we will continue our trek around stopping at Cedar breaks and the fishing platform for water if needed. This is a fairly easy hike but there are multiple bail out points if needed. Most people bail because they carry too much gear or get blisters. So wear good socks and shoes and pack light as you can.

Food and water: You will need lunch for two days, 1 dinner and lots of snacks and electrolytes. Freeze dried backpacking food is recommended. Salty savory high calorie snacks as well. It could be cold and wet or 100 or both this time of year so stay hydrated. I don't trust the water out of the lakes or streams so we will be stopping at park TH’s to resupply at the faucets . I will have a filter for emergencies .

Clothing: this will depend on the forecast but will most likely be cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoon so dressing in layers is recommended . Always have rain gear. Extra socks are recommended as well as a hat and Sun glasses . Treat your clothes with permethrin for ticks.

Treat this like its an dry run for the Teton trip and you will get the most out of it, and most of all have fun!

Cancellation policy: If you will not be able to make the hike, please be polite and change your RSVP to "not going" so that we don't wait for you at the trailhead.
