  • See it all on this classic, bucket list trail. On the TCT you get to enjoy Grand Teton National Park end to end in all its splendor. 38 miles and 9,000ft of trail running and power walking bliss from canyon to shelf to basin, pass and divide. Just remember to bring along a friend in worse shape than yourself. Then you can enjoy this iconic trail at a leisurely pace and really take it all in.

    Mediocre Amateurs Drinking Game (It had to be done.):
    -Take 3 drinks if the video begins with a helicopter ride.
    Take a drink every time:
    -Blake is mentioned but not actually present in the video.
    -Aaron eats a salted nut roll.
    -Someone makes a joke about perishing. Take two drinks if the phrase “Naked bloated corpse” is mentioned.
    -Someone has an existential crisis about why they participate.
    -Someone laments about the planned milage being incorrect
    -The word “Implode(d)” is used.
    -Matt talks about bears.
    -Blake or Christof get left behind.
    -Blake feels ill.
    -Danny’s hatred of cold water is mentioned.
    -Christof subtly flexes about being in some other country just hours before.
    -Darkness sets in.
    -Someone eats or mentions a Little Debbie product.
    Finish your drink if:
    -Danny pukes (once per episode).
    (All in good fun. Love y'all's videos! Feel free to add to the list).
