Review:

There is no official name for this peak, which is one of the best-kept secrets in Grand Tetons National Park, but several guides refer to it as Mount Fryxell, after the very first ranger of the park. Unlike most of the other peaks in Grand Tetons, Fryxell does not require technical gear to climb, although hikers can choose to make this journey anything from a Class 2 to a Class 5 in difficulty if they wish. It’s a long hike, and not an easy one, with about 16 to 20 miles of hiking round trip, but once at the top, hikers will be rewarded with some of the finest views in the park, which usually requires a lot more skill and equipment to achieve.
