Hiking Recommendations for the Tetons (GeoShort)

In this GeoShort Chris gives recommendations for several hikes to do in the Grand Teton National Park!  These recommendations range from short day hikes to see cool geoscience within the Park, to full-on weeklong backpacking trip suggestions if you need to get away from it all for awhile.  

Backpacking: Teton Crest Trail.  Unrivaled beauty along this well-defined trail.  Four to six days depending on what you want to do.

Day Hikes: Amphitheater Lake.  This well defined trail takes you up to a cirque and tarn.  It's a large area at the destination which enables the hiker to get away from people if you want.

Black Tail Butte: Short day hike (maybe 4 miles) that offers great views of the Eastern slopes of the Tetons.

Best Geology Hike: I was only allowed one so I picked Paintbrush Canyon.  It's amazing and if you're feeling adventurous, you can hike over the divide and down to Lake Solitude.
