Description
This trail is clearly named after Survey Peak (9,277') and is well-known by geologists and that's about it! The trail starts in the Jedediah Smith Wilderness, part of the Grand Targhee National Forest, and ends in Grand Teton NP, connecting South Boone Trail, Teton Crest - Survey Peak Trail, to Berry Creek. Geologists will note that the Forellen Peak fault extends southeastward from Survey Peak (9,277'), through Forellen Peak all the way to Ranger Peak (11,355').
