Jenny Lake in the Grand Tetons

Our hike to Hidden Falls around Jenny Lake in the Grand Tetons was beautiful. We hiked four miles around the lake, each turn offering gorgeous morning vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains.


The only evidence of local residents included a brief encounter with friendly marmots and some elk dung piled along our trail. As the trail with less elevation and closer to the lake was closed we stuck to the more difficult trail which proved to be worth the effort.






Hidden Falls, our destination, were misting and beautiful. We were disappointed that we didn't see any bear as we were told they frequent the falls often. Signs warned of not consuming food at the falls as the bears are likely to snatch backpacks when one is not looking.







The lake was crystal clear and reflected the mountains beautifully. Our return included a brief ride on the Jenny Lake Ferryboat that is a definate "must do" on our next visit with our children.
