The highlight of our Grand Tetons trip was definitely this hike. We ventured along the Moose trail, although, unfortunately, we didn't encounter any moose. Walking alone felt a bit daunting, questioning if we were on the right path (which we were, and luckily, no bears!). The main trail, featuring stunning lake views, is truly unbeatable. To make the most of our experience, we utilized the boat to return to the starting point after reaching the falls. This is a definite must do for visitors!

I took my 9 y/o grandson to Jackson Hole in July. He repeatedly tells us that it was the best week of his life and the high point was Jenny Lake. It is breathtakenly beautiful. We were so lucky because a mama bear and her cubs came down to the water. The rangers kept everyone at a safe distance but we could still see them bathing. What an experience! It was incredibly crowded when we first got there but on the paths just moderately so. We had to take a cab out there which was very expensive. Not a negative just an alert. I highly recommend a trip there and allow yourself enough time to walk, swim and hiking.

So thankful for trip advisor for finding things to do in Jackson. This is a great hike with lots to see - nature, waterfalls, the lake, rock formations. You can cut it short or keep hiking depending on who you are with and it is still great, short or long. The ferry is nice to take, cuts the walk short and beautiful views from the water.

We walked some of the trail in the morning. It was easy, compared to the trails around Phelps Lake. We drove by in the afternoon the day before and people were parking on both sides of the road. The lots fill up early, so plan to arrive no later than 8 am in the summer. We tried again the next morning, arriving at 7:45 am. There were very few parking spots left, but we got lucky. The lake is beautiful. I highly recommend it for an easy, serene trail walk around a beautiful body of water.

We walked from the marina to the West Boat dock (1.7 miles) and took the ferry back. It's a relatively easy trail with just a few grade changes. Best views and a waterfall toward the end closest to the West Dock. You can pay for your return ticket when you land back at the marina. Always good to have bear spray, because you are in the woods, but we didn't see much beyond a bird or two. Mostly shady but enough sun on a hot day to get you sweaty. Make sure you have water and maybe some snacks. A lot of folks went swimming on either end of this part of the trail. We also walked a bit of it from the overlook nearest the lodge and enjoyed that too (fantastic photos from over there, too). Parking for the Jenny Lake Visitor Center can be quite overwhelming! Very very full and parked up down the main road. We took a chance and drove into the lot in the mid afternoon and found someone leaving. If you don't want to walk the 1.7 miles, you can enjoy the trails just outside the visitor center. They also have posted signs with the trail distances on the portions of the Jenny Lake Loop.
