Grassy Island Camp
Nestled along the tranquil waters of Jackson Lake, Grassy Island Camp feels like a hidden sanctuary within the rugged beauty of the Grand Tetons. Surrounded by towering pines and aspen trees, the camp offers a breathtaking view of the jagged peaks of the Teton Range reflecting off the lake's glassy surface. The campsite is cozy, with soft, grassy clearings perfect for pitching a tent, and gentle lapping waves create a soothing soundtrack to your stay.Day: 3, duration: 1
Spalding Camp
Tucked away on the shores of Leigh Lake, Spalding Camp offers a peaceful escape in the heart of the Grand Tetons. Accessible by canoe or kayak, the camp feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by dense pine forests and the shimmering blue of the lake. The campsite is shaded and intimate, with flat spots for tents and an incredible backdrop of Mount Moran rising dramatically in the distance.
At MT Sobek, sustainability isn’t just a principle; it’s woven into the very fabric of how we operate.
