This is the designated uphill route through Grand Targhee resort. It’s primarily used for morning access to the amazing Targhee backcountry, but is also good for fitness laps in the morning or evening. According to the resort’s uphill policy, uphilling is allowed only from 4:30pm-9:00am, and only on this designated route which must be used for downhill as well. As mapped here, the track leads to Scotty’s backcountry access gate, but you could continue on Teton Vista Traverse to the top of Fred’s Mountain if you like. Note also that this up-track can be closed due to mountain operations or other reasons at any time. Check Grand Targhee’s uphill policy online for more information.
