Camping advice: Grand Tetons
So me and my buddy are planning a trip up to the grand Tetons mid October and we are wondering what all is necessary especially in a month that cold. We plan to get a backcountry camping permit and possibly stay in the mountains a night or two away from our hotel. I’m not a novice camper but not super experienced. I have gear such as a down jacket, down sleeping bag, good base layers, boots, and I will need to purchase pants for the weather so please make recommendations. However all I’ve ever known is the east coast and I know they are significantly different. For the weather I am concerned about wind chill and if it’s even realistic for us to be on the mountain during that time with possible snow coverage in which I do not have spikes for. I don’t have the best quality tent but I feel it will do, if that’s a mistake please let me know. Are there any recommended sites that are “easier” to camp on? I’ve done a fair amount of research and know a bear canister is required and bear spray is needed, but I can’t find much on how the weather in October will affect hiking, I know it will be around 50 degrees mid day and possibly below 20 at night. Please DM me if you can help, I don’t want to arrive unprepared. This is one of my dream trips so I’d like to understand fully what I’m actually getting myself into. I appreciate any amount of help.
