Today I get to share a couple a great hike in the Tetons--Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point
We met at the Jenny Lake Vistor's center and then walked to the boat dock along Discovery Trail.
This was the line hours before. When we went it was really long.
Shuttle
It is a 12 minute shuttle ride to the trailhead on the other side of the lake. (1)
The boat is a shuttle from close to the visitor's center to the Cascade Canyon Trailhead.
It cost $18 round trip and saves a 2 mile hike each way. (2)

It is also fun to be on the lake and see the mountains from the lake.

Megan and I stopped here. I actually liked this place more than Inspiration Point, not so many people and the view is better. Megan told me how she wants to live where this is the view in her backyard. Me too!!
Love this girl.
This part scared me a little bit.
The highest point in the Tetons is the Grand Teton and it is 13,770. We are about half way up at this point. Some in the group chose to go to Cascade Canyon. Some of us went a little further.
Megan and I went a little further to a spring.

The longest part of the the trip was the line to get back on the boat to shuttle back to the visitors center. It took about an hour.
The park service is nice and let you know how long the wait is going to be.
Getting closer
We made new friends, both people and animals.
What great hikes at Jenny Lake. I had done Hidden Falls when I was in the Tetons in 2014. I am glad I got to go again and that we went to Inspiration Point too. They are super popular hikes in the Tetons and for good reason!
