Phelps Lake Overlook
The trailhead for Phelps Lake is located 3.1miles south
of Moose on the (west) right side of the Moose-Wilson
Road and is accessible by vehicle only from Moose.
Moderate, 5.2 miles roundtrip, elevation change: 520'.
The trail follows a narrow, unplowed road for 1.7 miles
to the Death Canyon trailhead. Then the trail climbs
westward through a forest and over an open slope to reach
the Phelps Lake overlook. Do not continue beyond the
overlook because
of high avalanche hazard. The return trip
is downhill.
Moose-Wilson Road
Parking for the skiable section of the Moose- Wilson Road
is available only on the Teton Village (south) end of
the road. Easy, 4 miles roundtrip, elevation change:
100'. Park at the south end of the unplowed road. The
trail is mostly flat and is a good choice for beginners. |
