Embarking on our overnight summit attempt, we'll spend the first day hiking to our base camp at 11,000 feet. Waking we'll before dawn the next morning, we'll make an early-morning climb to on the 13,771-foot peak, rappelling off the summit. 

Celebrations and Departures from Jackson Hole

On the final full day of our journey, we'll celebrate our climb while rafting the exciting whitewater of the Snake River Canyon. Later that evening, we'll enjoy our trip's culminating banquet at a restaurant in the Old West town of Jackson, receiving transport to the airport for our departures the following morning. This once-in-a-life adventure includes all overnight accommodations in a comfortable lodge in Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's Teton Village, one night's camping on the Lower Saddle of the Grand Teton, all meals, activities, guiding and specialized equipment.
