Description

Added by The Outbound Collective

Hidden Falls Trail is a relatively short and easy hiking trail to Hidden Falls in Grand Teton National Park. To access this trail you can either hike here from the Jenny Lake Trailhead or the Leigh Lake Trailhead, or take a much quicker route by ferrying across Jenny Lake to the start of the Hidden Falls Trail.

Once you've made it to the other end of Jenny Lake, it's a quick 1-mile roundtrip hike to a picturesque 100-foot waterfall made by snowmelt.

Notes:
If you're looking for a much longer hiker, you can hike along the Hidden Falls & Jenny Lake Loop for an almost 8-mile hike. If you choose this route, plan for at least a half day of hiking.

easy hike with some slight inclines but nothing crazy, waterfall is huge & beautiful! can get crowded, so get there early if you want to avoid the crowds on the trails and the long wait for the ferry

It’s a pretty big waterfall you walk into! Definitely another one to do early to avoid the crowds and maybe be able to get a picture of the falls without a bunch of people hanging out at the base of it

This waterfall was twice as tall as I expected. Beautiful the whole way, whether you walk around Jenny lake to the trailhead or take the boat.

Cascade Canyon Trail

This is a really scenic trail in the Grand Teton National Park. If you follow the trail all the way it will lead you to Lake Solitude. This hike about 12+ miles round trip, depending on if you get the ferry across Jenny Lake (less with ferry). The actual hike begins on the west side of Jenny lake, if you do take the Ferry it cuts off about 2 miles of hiking around the lake. But overall the H...

Paintbrush Canyon Loop and Leigh Lake Overnight

There are many ways to access the Teton backcountry. However, one of my personal favorites is from Leigh Lake via the String Lake trailhead. From the backcountry office obtain a backcountry permit for 2 nights at Leigh Lake. Site 12 has some of the more impressive beachfront views of the Front Range. Begin the hike at the String Lake Trailhead (6,880 ft.) Hike along the East side of the lake a...

Leigh Lake via String Lake Trailhead

Leigh Lake is absolutely stunning with about as many recreational activities as you can imagine for a lake. It is a short flat one mile hike from the trailhead at String Lake to Leigh. Once you get there can go as far along as you wish along the 2 mile lakeshore. You can also Kayak, Canoe, or SUP with a small well marked portage from String Lake if you wish. Once you get there, the lake has nu...

Paintbrush Canyon to Holly Lake

This day-long adventure takes off from the Paintbrush Canyon Trailhead. The trailhead is located north of the very popular Jenny Lake along String Lake Rd. It took us about 7 and half hours including an hour lunch break to hike up and down from about 6,900 feet to 9,300 feet, an early start is definitely recommended. Once at the trailhead you will walk down a paved path for about 300 feet wh...

Paintbrush and Cascade Canyons Loop

This is one of the most picturesque and popular overnight trails in the Tetons for a reason. The trailhead is located at the String Lake parking lot. The trail constantly changes at every turn; be ready to experience a wide variety of gorgeous scenes from lush dense forests, scattered waterfalls, impressive mountainous surroundings, crystal clear lakes, roaming wildlife, beautiful glaciers, inc...

Mount Moran

Mount Moran’s CMC Route is best climbed by starting at String Lake’s boat launch. From here, pack up your overnight and climbing gear into your kayak or canoe and start your journey north on String Lake. At the end of the lake, portage a few hundred yards to Leigh Lake and continue your paddle north. You will come to a large bend where Moran is visible to your right and you will be able to make...
