I hike cascade about once a year for the past 10 years and it never gets old. After the first mile of heavy traffic, the canyon becomes an amazing back-country adventure, and a great start or end of several overnight hiking options. Day hike to the forks. Overnight for a loop to Open or Paintbrush. For the intrepid: Hike Cascade... More

Great hike. Just keep going past inspiration point. More

If you can make it up to Observation point, continue into the Canyon. Autumn colors and views of mountains just magnificent! Moose live by the river as well. More

We have hiked Cascade Canyon numerous times. It is a gorgeous hike, with multiple points of access, though ultimately it is an in-and-out hike on a single trail.

Hidden Falls and Inspiration point were very picturesque but Cascade canyon was stunning. A... More

Only hiked 45 minutes down the trail - meaning 45 minutes beyond Inspiration point. Had planned on going all try way down but was raining all morning and the preceding evening, so didn't start trail until 11am after getting off the ferry across Jenny Lake. Trail info: after going about 15 minutes from Inspiration Point you some out of the... More
