Adventure to Table Mountain

Hiking at Table Mountain A Stunning Outdoor Experience in the Tetons

Plan to be out for about half the day on the hike, depending on your pace. Wear sturdy hiking boots and bring layers of clothes since it can get cold on the mountaintop. Bring along plenty of food, water, and sunscreen to make sure you stay hydrated, energized, and sunburn free. Because summer storms can roll in in the afternoon and pose a risk to hikers who find themselves summiting the mountain at that time, it’s wise to start this hike early. This is a stunning part of Grand Teton National Park and a memorable experience. The challenge and the views are what make it one of Dr. Livingston’s favorite hikes. If you need recommendations for when and where to go, ask him next time you’re in the office!

When you’re looking for an outdoor weekend adventure to round out the summer, head to Table Mountain. Nestled on the west side of the stunning wilderness that is Grand Teton National Park, this beautiful hike gives unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains, including the Tetons and Battleship Mountain. Being only a couple of hours away from Star Valley, this is a feasible daytrip or a weekend getaway. On the hike, you can appreciate the amazing views, as well as the wildflowers and wildlife you might encounter. You can opt to take a less steep route up the mountain and hike Huckleberry Trail, though it does add about 2 miles to your hike. Even if you decide to do just part of the hike, you’ll still be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding area. At about 10-and-a-half miles long, and with a 4,000-foot elevation gain, hiking Table Mountain’s Face Trail can be a challenging hike, so it’s best to come prepared.
