This is a very popular, short, family-friendly hike to a viewpoint that features beautiful views of Jenny Lake. Parking at South Jenny Lake is extremely limited during the summer season. Plan on arriving early, before 9:00 am, or plan to visit late in the day, after 4:00 pm to have the best chance of finding a parking space.

The Hidden Falls Trail of Grand Teton National Park is a very nice trail with access to beautiful waterfalls. This route does not include nearby Inspiration Point, but it is a short distance away from Hidden Falls and is an easy optional add-on! This mostly mellow hike has a few steep portions closer to the top, with clear trail markings and not much need to worry about overgrown points of rocky areas.
Due to its popularity, this trail is often extremely busy. The gorgeous falls tucked away...

A beautiful hike with stunning views and pristine lakes. It is recommended to do the hike counter-clockwise to have great views of the Tetons along the majority of your hike. The trail is well-marked and well-maintained. Trekking poles are recommended. There are lovely fall colors in the fall months. Keep an eye out for wildlife!

This is a hike along the creek and around Phelps Lake. Keep an eye out for wildlife along this trail - bears and moose are frequently sighted in this area. Most of the hike is flat with occasional inclines. Trail is well marked and easy to navigate. Some great spots for pics along the hike, including Huckleberry Point and the giant rock in the opposite side.

Trail reviews for Grand Teton National Park
Not an official trail after Holly Lake. Class 2-3 STEEP scramble to the summit of Mount Woodring. Has some exposure. Good scrambling experience needed after Paintbrush Canyon and Holly Lake. Amazing views of the north end of Grand Teton National Park from the summit.
Difficulty: Strenuous
Holly Lake via Leigh Lake Trail to Paintbrush Canyon Trail
Quick jaunt around Jenny Lake, Grand Teton National Park.
Difficulty: Moderate
Jenny Lake Trail
5 nights - 6 Days backpacking trip Beginning of July 2024 Challenging due to the conditions(snow,ice,hail,rain,wind) although extremely rewarding and the views were breathtaking. If you ever have the incredible opportunity to experience the Grand Tetons definitely say yes
Good trail conditions, most of the Aspens have already turned. Fantastic views of the Grand Teton
Parking: Entry fee, Free, Large lot
Taggart Lake Loop
Amazing views of Grand Teton. Nice shaded hike and not too difficult for the first 3 miles. The last push was a pretty tough scramble and easy to get lost. Make sure to stay to the right as you come to the top or you can miss the lake. We took a plunge in the lake which is very cold but felt amazing!
Difficulty: Strenuous
Delta Lake via Lupine Meadows Access
Lake Solitude was on my must see list in the park, but I debated whether to do the Cascade there and back trail or the loop trail. I’m glad I opted for the loop. The lake itself was fine, but the views from both side of the Paintbrush divide and then the descent following the lake were the best parts (going counterclockwise). I would recommend doing paintbrush canyon first, for the view facing Grand Teton after the lake are a must see as you hike down the canyon. While I saw reports of long stretches of the trail covered in snow from the previous week, it has all melted as of October 1st when I hiked it. Saw lots of Pika, 1 moose and 1 mule deer - and black bear with cubs were reported by people behind and ahead of us. Animal sights were between Jenny Lake and the fork on Cascade side.
