Spend a day hiking Jenny Lake Trail, located within one of the country's major national parks and offering sweeping views of Wyoming's foaming waterfalls and rugged mountain peaks. This 11.4 km (7.1 mi) trail offers hikes ranging from easy to strenuous; it attracts adventure seekers of all ages and fitness levels. The trail circles a lake created by glaciers about 12,000 years ago, and provides access to climbing routes leading to some of the tallest peaks of the Teton Range. If you don't feel like hiking back, you can board a boat for a return trip across the lake to the visitor center. Print or download a map of the trailhead before your visit, and be aware that black and grizzly bears inhabit the area. Make Jenny Lake Trail part of your personalized Grand Teton National Park itinerary using our Grand Teton National Park day trip app.

It's a jewel of Grand Tetons. We hiked around the lake, the whole experience was very much like a fairytale

Beautiful hiking trail. Plenty of parking. Option for taking a small boat to other side of lake $15 one way. Or hike one part of the lake, takes about 1 hour to reach the waterfall and 15 min more to the switchback to the viewpoint and then the canyons. I've seen all ages do this moderate hike. Wear good comfortable shoes and bring defensive bear 🐻 spray and bottle of water. Don't leave any food trail.

Beautiful area for a hike. We went on a Sunday so it was definitely busy. We took the trail to Hidden falls and back. Saw a black bear cub, a moose, marmots, and other little critters.
