Jenny Lake

Located in the Grand Teton National Park, this lake sits at the base of the Teton Range and is best known for its brilliantly clear water.

Recommend hiking the 3 miles along Jenny Lake and viewing the lake and beautiful scenery along the way to Hidden falls & Inspiration point and then taking the short boat trip back. Remember to pack snacks, water or lunch for when you get to Inspiration point to rest and take in the gorgeous view of the lake and valley below.

Calm backwater in the Snake River in Grand Teton Nat'l. Park.

This place has a wonderful view of the Teton range with the Snake river in the foreground. However there are no picnic tables of restrooms here so plan accordingly.

Cunningham Cabin

Reviewed By dreamspeaker - Middleton, United States

We were driving by on the highway and saw horses in the field and a little pullout, so we thought we'd stop and look at the horses a while and realized that we could drive back to a parking area and see a historic cabin and walk a little trail to the field. I think partly because of the horses (we love animals) and the gorgeous setting, this is actually my favorite place that we stopped in the Grand Tetons area. It is not very busy and I felt like it was just me and my family on a mountain ranch. Really nice place. I would spend lots of time here if it weren't so far from home for me.
