Getting to Teton Glacier

I just returned from the Tetons where we were going to make an attempt on the Koven Route, but we made a huge mistake in our approach to the Teton Glacier and ended up closer to Amphitheater Lake than the Teton Glacier. The climbing rangers later described to use that once you get to 3 Mile Junction from the Lupine Meadows Trailhead (the junction that forks to Surprise Lake and Garnet Canyon), follow the trail that leads to Surprise Lake, but once you get to the first switchback on the trail, continue hiking north, instead of taking the switcback, and traverse into Glacier Gulch. From there, just hike up Glacier Gulch taking care not to trample too much vegitation- a very straightforward approach. Hiking the Gulch will probably take about 2 hours once you are in it, but routefinding is not a problem. We found the going to Surprise Lake and then down into the Gulch was very difficult and somewhat dangerous...the lake to get below is Delta Lake, which is in the center of Glacier Gulch. Talk to the rangers at Jenny Lake about the approach, and listen to what they have to say- I wish we would have! But good luck with the route, it looks pretty incredible.
