Wyoming trails · Teton Crest South
A 5.2-mile out-and-back in Wyoming, with 1,192 ft of climbing. Reaches Mount Meek Pass and other glacier/lake/pass destinations. Managed by USFS 041556.
Most of the climbing sits in the final third — 64% of the ascent, between mile 3.5 and mile 5.2. It gives back about 677 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:16 a.m., the sun rises at 6:45 a.m. and sets at 8:01 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:30 p.m. (MDT) — 13 h 15 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 10.4-mile round trip takes roughly 5 h 02 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 11:47 a.m. — 8 h 13 min before sunset.
