Cirque Trail Map

The Cirque Trail is the missing link between the Wildflower Trail and the Granite Canyon Tram Route. The trail connects the top of Bridger Gondola to the top of the Aerial Tram at the summit of Rendezvous Mountain and is runnable by itself, or great as a part of a larger loop.

Description

By itself, the trail is most often run from top to bottom, descending nearly 1,400 feet in two miles. Though it isn't particularly remote, it begins at the 10,450-foot summit of Rendezvous Mountain and ends at 9,100 feet—making it a challenging run nonetheless.

Paired with the Wildflower Trail, it provides a complete route from the bottom of Teton Village to Rendezvous Peak, the top and bottom of the Aerial Tram. For an ambitious trail runner, this could be used to complete a full loop with the Granite Canyon Tram Route.
