For those going to Grand Tetons in 2007

For those heading into the Tetons backcountry, just a heads up...the aerial tram will be out of service for the summer of 2007. I believe (not totally sure) this is the tram that takes you up to Rendezvous Peak, just south of Granite Canyon. Gives you easy (easier) access to Teton Crest Trail. Here's the story

We rode it in Sept of last year. It does make quick work of the 4000' climb to Rendez-vous, but the hike up the canyon looked pretty wonderful as well. It had been known for a while that last year was the last time for that tram, it'll be a year before the replacement in built.

They were still running the tram through ski season, but for patrol only, not for the public. They added a chair to Rendezvous, so it was a 4-lift sequence for anyone else to get up there, long but at least still possible.

I have a "last car" hat that I got out there last winter.

Should also have the new tram installed by 08-09 season.
