    Hammocking on the Teton Crest Trail

    Looking to hike the Teton crest trail in late July early August. Looking for site recommendations. Any info on the trail would be welcome

    I've hiked the trail and there are quite a few stretches that are alpine with not a lot of tall or stout enough trees for hammock hanging. Other stretches that drop down into the stream drainages would be fine. Thoroughly enjoyed the trail. I almost got stomped by a bull at the Squirrel Meadows trailhead. I stunk so bad that I think the bull thought I was either a competing suitor to his cows or he had amorous intents Fortunately, my hiking partner yelled at me in time and I escaped around some of the parked vehicles.

    I might recommend bringing something so you could go to ground if you have to, TBH. Or pitch like Shug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j54vMKGhiQ
