Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) will undergo restoration and improvements on the popular trail to Delta Lake over the next couple of months. The project aims to improve visitor safety, reduce erosion, protect sensitive alpine vegetation, and create a more sustainable route to the high alpine lake.
Project Details
Crews from the Access Fund will work alongside GTNP’s trail crews on the unofficial route to Delta Lake via the Lupine Meadows Trailhead. The work will begin in late June and continue through early August. Visitors may encounter temporary delays, short reroutes, and equipment while work crews focus on defining a path, stabilizing the trail, and rehabilitating social trails.
GTNP Superintendent Chip Jenkins stated that the project demonstrates what is possible when nonprofit partners, volunteers, outdoor recreation organizations, and the National Park Service work together toward a common goal. The project is being supported by the Access Fund, Grand Teton National Park Foundation (GTPNF), Teton Climbers Coalition, and AllTrails.
