Mt. Glory is a well-known route for backcountry skiers and outdoor enthusiasts in Wyoming/Idaho. At the top of Teton Pass, it peaks at an elevation of 10,033 ft. This is very different to centennial woods as it is above alpine, vs the ~200ft of elevation Centennial sits at. Therefore, the phenology is very different as species on this mountain must be able to withstand cold temperatures and high wind. Therefore, there are a lot of small bushes, mosses, and shrubs at the top, and as you descend you are surrounded by Pine Trees. Unlike Centennial Woods, there are no Oaks, Maples, or Birches and no trees that exhibit foliage in the autumn. This spot is trafficked by skiers in the winter, hikers in the summer, and offers panoramic views of the Valley. Unlike Centennial Woods, it is not easily accessible and requires about a 1000 ft elevation gain hike. The Western mountains tend to be much larger and dramatic in sight, and offer habitat to mainly pines as they are capable of living at such high elevations. However, like Centennial Woods, this spot is more trafficked than surrounding natural areas as it has gained fame from skiers and hikers for its beautiful views and accessibility for good turns.
This was the night I did a sunset ski with my friend. As you can see, this summit offers an incredible view of the valley and surrounding mountains.
