Been looking forward to hiking season? Lace up your hiking boots and set your sights for the breathtaking Wyoming wilderness. There are countless trails for all skill levels across the Cowboy State.

If you only hike one Wyoming trail this year, though, it should definitely be Teton Crest in Grand Teton National Park. The path is challenging, but not so much that you have to be an expert to tackle it. Plus, it offers some of the most drop-dead gorgeous scenery in the state.

When you want to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Grand Tetons, few things beat hiking them.

It's moderately trafficked, so the path is fairly easy to follow. Though the ground is flat in spots, it's uneven in others, and you'll go up steep climbs as well as navigate over rocky areas.

These elements plus the length of the trail are why it's rated difficult.
