The trail is very nice, I remember one time we saw a moose laying down just a few feet from the path!

This lake is undeniably serene and breathtaking, USA's answer to Canada's Moraine Lake. The vistas are hauntingly similar- a mountain range abruptly rising on one side and a forest of pines on the other. We didn't have enough time to take the ferry across or hike its multiple trails, however, just taking a walk from the parking lot to the... More

Jenny Lake (as are the other lakes in the Tetons) is stunningly gorgeous. Even if you don't have time to walk around the whole lake or take the ferry across, you should at least stop and walk some of the trail. The views are amazing and it's so peaceful. Do make sure to have your bug spray in the summer... More

This is one of the best attractions at Tetons. We biked from Teton Village to Jenny Lake (8 miles each way). The ferry across to Jenny Lake is $10 and totally worth it. Once across the lake, we hiked about 2 miles all the way up to ‘Inspiration Point’. I would totally recommend the hike. You come across ‘Hidden Falls’,... More

Jenny Lake is set in a beautiful location at the foot of the Tetons. You can walk all the way round the lake although it is about 7 miles. A shorter option is to take the boat across to the other side where you have the option of walking back round (about 2 miles), walking up to Hidden Falls which... More

Me and my husband are not terribly romantic, but for us to be together viewing this scene, it rekindled some romance. This lake and it's surrounding inspired awe that is difficult to sketch for you with mere words. I know I must have done something right in my life if God has allowed me to see this wonder.
