Buck Mountain, Mountain summit in Teton County, United States
Buck Mountain rises to an elevation of 11,943 feet in Grand Teton National Park, offering views across the Cathedral Group and Jackson Hole valley.
The first climb to Buck Mountain summit occurred on August 21, 1898, when T.M. Bannon and George Buck successfully completed their pioneering ascent.
The peak serves as a training ground for mountaineers who practice technical climbing skills on routes ranging from class 3 to grade 5.8.
Access to Buck Mountain requires a backcountry permit from Grand Teton National Park, with Stewart Draw providing the main approach from Death Canyon Trailhead.
Timberline Lake rests on the eastern slopes of Buck Mountain, while the Alaska Basin Trail traverses the western side into Caribou-Targhee National Forest.
