Alaska Basin Trail, Mountain hiking trail in Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming.
The Alaska Basin Trail extends 16.6 miles through evergreen forests and alpine meadows, reaching elevations of 9,568 feet in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.
The trail network developed during the early exploration of the Teton Range, serving as a passage through the mountains for generations of outdoor enthusiasts since the 1900s.
Native American tribes of the region utilized these mountain paths for seasonal migrations and gathering traditional medicinal plants that grow along the route.
Hikers need to carry bear spray, check weather forecasts, and obtain necessary permits for overnight stays, as the trail crosses through designated wilderness areas.
Mirror Lake marks the trail's focal point, surrounded by Buck Mountain, Static Peak, and Mount Meek, creating natural boundaries within the highland basin.
