Teton Wilderness Map

The Teton Wilderness Map produced by the US Forest Service contains the most up-to-date information on access roads, trails, campsites, terrain, and points of interest within the Teton Wilderness. All wilderness maps contain contour lines, and the vast majority contain a topographic quad index, planning tips and contact phone numbers.

The state's second largest Wilderness area straddles the Continental Divide deep in the heart of Wyoming. It is bordered on the north by Yellowstone National Park, on the east by Washakie Wilderness, and on the west by Grand Teton National Park. To the west of the Great Divide the land is dominated by timbered ridges, grassy slopes, and broad willow and sedge meadows with elevations from 7,500 feet to 9,675 feet. To the east are high plateaus broken by ridges and extensive mountain meadows with elevations from 8,000 feet to 12,165 feet ( Younts Peak).

On Two Ocean Pass, the famous Two Ocean Creek splits to send water to both the Atlantic and the Pacific. You'll see evidence of the great fires from the summer of 1988 that burned here and in Yellowstone. You may also see downed trees from 1987's summer tornado that mowed a 20-mile-long, two-mile-wide swath through the area. But in general, this area is vast, spectacular, and relatively unspoiled.

Teton Wilderness ranks among this nation's best wildlife areas. Summer brings trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, ducks, geese, falcons, and song birds. Grizzly bears, grey wolves, and bison wander across meadows. Golden and bald eagles, hawks, grouse, coyotes, beavers, martens, bobcats, porcupines, otters, and mink live here year-round.

Approximately 450 miles of trails provide access to this popular area. About half of the visitors to this area come expressly to hunt and fish. It is strongly recommend that all visitors take precautions to protect themselves against the threat of bears.
