Area 73 covers the Gros Ventre Range east of Jackson—a serious stretch of mountain country running between Grand Teton National Park and the upper Green River drainage. Elevations run from about 7,000 feet at the Gros Ventre River canyon mouth to over 11,000 feet on Doubletop Peak and the Gros Ventre crest. The country is a mix of dramatic glaciated terrain and the famous Gros Ventre Slide (a 1925 landslide that dammed the Gros Ventre River and created Lower Slide Lake), with timbered drainages of lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, and aspen, transitioning into alpine meadow and rock above 10,000 feet. The Gros Ventre Wilderness (about 287,000 acres) protects the heart of the range—no motors. The Red Hills along the Gros Ventre Road are striking red sandstone formations. Bridger-Teton NF and the Gros Ventre Wilderness dominate, with private ranch in the lower Gros Ventre valley. Gros Ventre Road from Jackson Hole is the paved-then-gravel access to the wilderness trailheads at Slide Lake and beyond. Jackson is the full-service town and your prices reflect it—gas, every kind of restaurant, the Square. Cell service drops past Slide Lake. Elk and mule deer in the timber and meadow margins, with the Gros Ventre being one of the storied bull-hunting destinations of the West for those who draw. Grizzly bear country—standard protocols apply. Pack-in or backpack into the wilderness for the best country.
