Review:
Buck Mountain, located in Grand Tetons National Park, is the tallest mountain in the park south of Garnet Canyon, at 11,938 feet elevation, and due to this it is a great climb because it affords some gorgeous views of the peaks to the north. On the east and northeast faces of the mountain there are several options for a Class 3 hike to the top, but on the north and west sides, a trip to the summit will require a climb. The most challenging route is the west face of the mountain, with climbs rated up to 5.8. Because this mountain is not nearly as popular as some of the other big peaks in Grand Tetons National Park, a hike up Buck Mountain will most likely be very peaceful, with views for miles.
