Best Hikes in Grand Teton National Park

1. Jenny Lake Loop

One of the park’s signature hikes, the Jenny Lake Loop offers a moderate trek with maximum rewards, including close-up views of the Tetons reflecting over Jenny Lake. This 7.6-mile loop is well-traveled and provides numerous photo opportunities and spots to just soak in the vistas.

2. Cascade Canyon Trail

Starting from the Jenny Lake area, this trail takes you deep into the heart of the Tetons via a boat ride across the lake followed by a hike up to Inspiration Point and into Cascade Canyon. It’s a dynamic and scenic hike where you might spot moose, bears, and other wildlife.

3. Teton Crest Trail

For the more adventurous RV campers who are equipped to hike multi-day routes, the Teton Crest Trail is legendary. Spanning around 40 miles through the backcountry, it offers stunning panoramas, wildflower meadows, and alpine terrain. This trail requires planning and permits for camping but is worth every step.

4. Taggart Lake Trail

An easier option suitable for families and less avid hikers, the Taggart Lake Trail features a relatively flat 3-mile round trip that leads to the serene Taggart Lake. With minimal elevation gain and spectacular views of the Grand Tetons, it’s perfect for a leisurely day hike.

5. Death Canyon Trail

Despite its foreboding name, Death Canyon Trail is a rewarding hike that offers a mix of moderate and challenging sections. The trail leads to stunning views of Phelps Lake and enters the beautiful and somewhat rugged Death Canyon. It's a great hike for those looking for a bit of solitude.
