The Alaska Basin is on the western side of the Teton Range. Most years the trail is good by August, but this year the snow is still holding a lot of the high ground.

About 4 miles into the hike snowfields covered the trail and I spent a lot of time just trying to find it. I was not alone, at the top and coming back down I "found" other groups looking for the trail.

Some wild flowers were in bloom, but not as many as I hoped for because of the snow.

It was a great 18+ mile hike.

Pictured below is Battleship mountain and flowers taken near Sunset Lake.

I will add a couple more images from this hike next week.
