Jedediah Smith Wilderness

Jedediah Smith Wilderness sits in the shadow of Grand Teton, but don’t let that fool you. This 123,451-acre expanse of alpine lakes, granite peaks, and wildflower meadows in Wyoming’s backcountry is pure wilderness—no roads, no shortcuts, just earned views. Named after the legendary mountain man, it’s where serious hikers go when they want solitude over selfies. If you’ve walked these trails, you know. Time to let everyone else know too.
