  This is great trail to hike. The whole trail is narrow switchbacks. The view at the top is a beautiful panarama. Hardly any other hikers. No falls or streams. Just nature. A great hike. No flat spots. Peaceful

  Deze wandeling is praktisch omdat hij vlak naast de camping begint. Hij is voor een hike ook niet uitzonderlijk steil en lang waardoor hij te doen is. Hij voert wel langs een enigzins eenzijdige route. Op de top is het uitzicht redelijk met een aantal pluimen van geisers te zien en in de verte Grand Teton.

  This hike is practical as it starts right next to the campsite. For a hike he is also not exceptionally steep and long so he can do it. He does carry on a somewhat unilateral route. At the top the view is reasonable with some plumes of geysers to see and in the distance Grand Teton.
