Garns Mountain
Teton Basin Ranger District
Big Hole Mountain Range
Motorcycle Four WheelerGarns Mountain is the second tallest mountain in the big holes
(elv 9016 ) It is just a few feet shorter than Piney Peek. From the top you have a clear 360 degree view.Their are many different ways to get to the top of Garns. Some of these ways are easier than others. You can make it to the Garns Mountain Trail Head from Victor, Driggs, Pine Creek Pass, Moody Meadows or Black canyon Just to name a few. Some of these trails i have just mentioned are four wheeler and some our single track. The trail to the top on both sides of the mountain is a four wheeler trail and the trail from Victor or Driggs is easier than from the Idaho Falls side. It is the Trails that meet up with the garns trail that can be single track. So if you are riding a four wheeler ck your map to make sure your trail does not run out on you before you get to were you want to be.
Tonights ride was a great ride. This was my first trip up garns in two years. I tried last year many many times but for many different reasons i never made it to the top. So to say the least i was way happy. The trail we took this night is one of my favorites it's all four wheeler and it goes by Castle Lake. Witch is a nice place to stop and rest. On this ride when we got to the lake their was big moose just hanging out in the lake cooling off he seemed to care less that we were their. So we sat and watched him for a while then decided we needed to get a move on. We parked down by Kellys and road from their to do this ride you must have some time. we left the truck around 5 oclock and got back way after dark. The sun was still way high in the sky when we left the top of garns. we road back as fast as we could with no stops and it was pitch black when we made it back to the truck. Ha ha ha ha ha it was a great ride. Well i don't have my map with me this morning so i can not provide trail names and numbers at this point i will come back and add them to the post in a day or two. Garns is much closer to Driggs and Victor than Idaho Falls the towns you see in the pictures are. The town below the Grand Tetons is Driggs the other Town you see in the pictures is Victor. They are eight miles apart to drive between them but from up here they look almost like one town.
