The season for the CDST is considerably shorter. Travel on Jackson Lake is not recommended because of numerous hazards.
Winter places enormous stress on wildlife.
Observe animals from a distance. If you cause an animal to move, you are too close. Unnecessary movement for wildlife uses precious body fat needed to survive the harsh winter. The CDST connects Dubois, Lander and the Togwotee Pass areas with Yellowstone National Park . The CDST is a groomed trail and may be closed periodically for grooming.
