<DIV>Hello all!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am headed to the Bridger-Teton area for some CDT hiking (southbound in the Palmdale Ranger District) in a couple of weeks. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This seems like the best part of the area? (Opinions?) (I will have my dog, so no national parks.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Looking at the map, it seems difficult to figure out my logistics....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Where is the best place to access the Bridger-Teton's?? I was looking at Palmdale.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is it hard to get a ride out to the trail? Or is the trailhead setup (and safe) to leave vehicles there? What's the norm for folks??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any way I could hitch back up to Palmdale if I just did a spur hike south?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are there better or worse places that people like to camp at?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there bear canister requirements??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your great help!! Happy hiking!</DIV>
