This is a great hike with some rewarding views of hidden falls and Jenny Lake at inspiration point. However, the trail is busy. This is a really popular hike! More

Circle the lake. Watch out for bears. Take the boat across, walk back on the trail. Go up the canyon for more adventurous hiking. More

This trail was amazing. If you like to hike you can see some beautiful sites. We took the short boat ride instead of walking the entire trail. It is not the easiest hike, but well worth the effort. Some people in our group saw a bear off in the distance. Be sure to dress for the weather. I recommend light... More

We hiked around the lake and also up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point, which were terrific! We then went onto the Cascades Canyon trail for about a mile to see the moose we had been told was lounging next to the stream! Sure enough, he was still there! A wild moose chase, but really worth the extra hiking! More
