What Inspires You?

Even the name elicits the romantic views of John Muir. He said, “In every walk of nature, one receives more than they seek.” This is surely true for the short, but sweet hike to Inspiration Point, one of the most famous hikes within the bounds of Grand Teton National Park. This hike is best for families, beginner hikers, or those trying to take a rest day before a big adventure. Bath in the glacial waters of Jenny Lake during a hot summer day, watch climbers train on the granite shield above Hidden Falls, or get lost in beauty as you stare into the depths of Cascade Canyon.

Hang Loose!

The Hanging Canyon “trail” is not for the faint of heart. It is steep and grueling. Yet it is one of those trails that offers the solitude and landscape that tranquilizes, and repairs what needs mending. The trail is unmarked and rugged, but don’t let that steer you away. It is one of the most rewarding hikes in Grand Teton National Park. Stop by all three lakes as you enter the majestic cirque of Hanging Canyon. Arrowhead, Ramshead and Lake of the Crags are situated under the towering cliffs of Symmetry Spire, Mt St John, Rockchuck Peak, The Jaw, and Rock of Ages. The beauty of this hike is unparalleled, especially during the height of wildflower season.
