Yep, it's a steep and sweaty trail. But breaking out above the timber, and above the other mountains in the area is worth it. The Tetons are a distant mirage of climbers fantasy. The dark brooding Absaroka mountains crowd in from 2 sides, and the gigantic Yellowstone Caldera is spread out before you. Truly, an amazing view from a trail, usually I have to hike for hours, or engage in technical climbing to get such a view.
