Best Hikes in Grand Teton National Park 10 | String Lake Loop Sunrise reflection on String Lake Personally, I find September and even early October to be the best time in the Tetons due to generally good weather, a bit more solitude, snow-free conditions, and there’s a better chance of getting a backpacking permit. Of course, crowds don’t matter much on the trail, only when it comes to accommodations and permitting. July and August provide the best weather but also the biggest crowds. If you don’t care about the more strenuous hikes, this can be a beautiful time to visit because there’s still snow on the mountains. Many trails can be hiked by the beginning of June but the higher elevation, strenuous trails usually take until mid-July for the snow to melt off. Visiting The Tetons?
