This video documents a 3 day backpacking trip through Grand Teton National Park that my brother and I took from August 3 through August 5 of 2020. We started at the String Lake trailhead and hiked up Cascade Canyon, turning south at the Cascade Canyon fork. The views of the Teton mountains were spectacular here, especially as we ascended Hurricane pass (10,338 ft.), which gave us a good look at the entire west side of the the range from Middle Teton to Mt. Moran and beyond. We camped near Sunset lake in the Alaska Basin, then climbed the Death Canyon Shelf following the Teton Crest Trail. The wildflowers were in full bloom, and the views of Death Canyon to the east and the Teton range to the north were amazing. We descended into Death Canyon to spend the final night. Here, we saw a bear, two moose, and a number of smaller animals (which were well fed on backpack...). The final few miles of Death Canyon offered stunning views of magnificent granite walls and jagged mountain peaks. We finished our hike following the placid Phelps Lake to the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Center.
