Grand Tetons in June
Planning a backpacking trip in Grand Teton NP sometime during the first two weeks of June. What trails are open without too many snowfields that time of year?

The first couple weeks of June are still pretty cold in the Rockies. Hopefully some of the Wyoming people will jump in here and give you better beta, but I'd expect some snow on the trails and cold weather. I think June is beautiful in the Rockies, but it's not quite summer yet.

We encountered some snow at a pass in mid July last year on the Moose Divide trail. It was only a few hundred yards, but a little dicey and it was only at 9600 ft or so. You better have snow safety equipment in June. Crampons, Ice axe??? My advice is to call the ranger station for some expert recommendations.
