[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2189718, member: 94154"] Congratulations! Given you're a WY resident, the acclimation shouldn't be that bad for you. It's been a while since I've scrambled around the Tetons, and I don't know jack about goats. That said, be wary of bunny huggers and tour-ons (tourist morons) on the Teton Crest trail (if you go that high). But, if you want to go the hard way (i.e. hike up), you can also use it to your advantage. There are plenty of trails from the east side where you can come up over the top in a morning's hike and then come down the west slope. There used to be a weather station (IIRC NE of Driggs) where you could drive right up to 9K. I always appreciated the marked difference between the East face (dramatic) and the west slopes (grassy and rolling). The west slopes remind me of the grassy meadows below Old Snowy in the Goat Rocks Wilderness, where you'd see goats at 1K+ Good luck! [/QUOTE]
