Trail reviews for Grand Teton National Park
This is a great hike if you like scrambling. The last half a mile full of probably a level-2 scramble. Delta lake is beautiful with the back drop of Grand Teton. A must to have sturdy shoes especially for the last half a mile. The scramble part of the hike is a little slippery along the mud and snow patches.
We took the boat over to the start of the trail. The initial climb up to inspiration point was a bit crowded and it was a decent hike up. Hidden falls was hard to find…. We ended up hiking up into the cascade canyon for about 2 miles which was beautiful. Still a bit of snow in spots so it was slick but not very muddy. The hike back was nice since we took the Jenny lake trail around to the parking lot. Overall, a beautiful day and a really beautiful hike. This is our first day in Grand Teton so looking forward to more hikes!
Probably my favorite hike I did in Grand Teton. Starting off with the boat ride into the hike was truly an amazing experience. The views are incredible pretty much the whole time. Definitely wear good hiking shoes with how rocky the path is at certain points. I think this waterfall maybe my favorite Ive seen in person
Great views from the base of Grand Teton.
A must do hike in grand Teton. Don’t miss it and at least go into the canyon a bit. Bring hiking poles and water. Spotted 3 moose and there’s still snow in a bunch of spots in the canyon. Wooo
Stunning view on the valley and on Grand Teton mountain. Relatively easy. I would consider starting by the pound to enjoy the views on the way down
