Taggart Lake, Grand Teton National Park

I didn't remember much of the hike and lake from when I was younger, but it was the perfect hike for my small family. The trail follows the creek and there many a places to stop and take photos (aka rest) as necessary. One stop is the bridge on your way up. I have two photos, but Grand Teton Peak is at the top of the cascade - beautiful! Wear sunscreen, even though there seems to be plenty of shady spots to stop under, the elevation makes it a little easier to burn. Take a change of clothes so you can jump in and cool off during the dog days of summer. We didn't hike to Bradley Lake, but wish we did. As others have mentioned, hike to Bradley Lake first and be a little easier?

It was an adventurous hike. We were a group of five. We started our hike when the sun is almost down. It was 1.6 mile hike each way which took almost 40-45 minutes. We took bear spray with us. When we reach to the lake we were the last person on the lake and no one’s were there. Such a serenity and calmness!!! The beauty of the Tetons from this lake was really mesmerizing!! If you are visiting Grand Teton NP I would tell you shouldn’t miss this hike and the great great views…. ⛰🏔🏔
