Sep 08, 2022 — Bad weather avoidance brought us to Jackson Peak, a nice peak with a trail leading to its summit just outside of Jackson, WY. Unfortunately, the road to reach the trailhead is a bit long and often rocky. You'll need decent tires and some clearance to reach it, or expect to add a couple of miles to the hike. Some nice forest walking along the Goodwin Lake Trail led us up to the extended northern ridge of Jackson Peak. As we continued along this ridge, we were given some sporadic views to the east through the trees. The trail continues away from the ridge and over to Goodwin Lake before continuing south to a junction with the Jackson Peak Trail. Some steeper hiking got us up to the south ridge of Jackson Peak, where the views toward Gros Peak and neighboring mountains of the Gros Ventre Wilderness were excellent. The trail continued all the way to the summit.
