Rendezvous Mountain (10,455 ft (3,187 m)) is a large mountain massif located in the southern Teton Range in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The highest point on Rendezvous Mountain is Rendezvous Peak (10,927 feet (3,331 m)). The west and northern flanks of the mountain are in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, while much of the remainder of the massif is in Bridger-Teton National Forest.[3] The mountain massif extends for a distance of 5 miles (8.0 km) between Granite Canyon to the north and to the south. Though there are numerous summits above 10,000 feet (3,000 m), the one that is most commonly visited is the North Peak, where the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort aerial tram provides access to the summit for skiers in the winter and sightseerings and hikers in the summer. The hike down the Rendezvous Mountain Trail to the Granite Canyon Trail has a descent of 4,100 feet (1,200 m) over 12.3 miles (19.8 km).[4]
