    This is a pretty, peaceful valley beneath the towering peaks of the Teton Range. You'll find fields of wildflowers, small alpine lakes, and winding singletrack. The basin is outside of Grand Teton National Park, so as long as you are 200 feet from the trail and any water sources, you can camp for free without a permit (look for pre-existing dispersed camping sites).
