20 monumentos naturais imperdíveis in Grand Teton National Park

The hike from Jenny Lake to Cascade Canyon and back is just over 20 km. The glacier-carved mountain valley is beautiful.

Super nice hike, but the rating of the trails by Komoot is wrong. On the map it looks like the trail further down from the Lupine Meadows car park is T3 and then at the turnoff to Delta Lake T2. In reality the trail is T2 up to the turnoff and then, at least in phases, T3. There are two scree fields and some very steep sections. But it's all doable and there are also several families with children on the trail.

Cascade Canyon is a glacier-caved canyon that provides relatively easy access into the Teton backcountry. This out and back trail to the Forks of Cascade Canyon is an amazing way to get into the mountains without the significant elevation gain characteristic of this mountain range. As you hike along this trail you are granted fantastic views of the iconic Grand Teton, as well as Mount Owen, and Teewinot. There are also ample opportunities to see wildlife like moose, bears, marmots, and pikas along this great section of trail. When you reach the Forks of Cascade Canyon, where the trail splits, you can either turn back toward Jenny Lake or continue onward to Lake Solitude and the Paintbrush Divide or toward Hurricane Pass and the Alaska Basin.

At one time Delta Lake was a seldom visited spot in Grand Teton National Park, but recently word has gotten out about its unique, glacier-fed turquoise waters and beautiful position. Although the short spur trail to the lake is technically considered an "unmaintained trail," aside from a few moments where you might need to scramble up some boulders or around a downed tree, the trail is not particularly hard to follow or exceptionally more difficult than the trails you had to hike to get up here. Delta Lake is a must-visit when visiting the Surprise and Amphitheater Lakes; it is a worthwhile detour to a stunning spot.

Jenny Lake is a beautiful lake at the base of the Tetons in Grand Teton National Park. The stunning views of Teewinot Mountain, Mount St. John, and Cascade Canyon over the water, the small Visitor Center and Interpretive Trail, and the multitude of popular trails that leave from its southeastern shores make it one of the visited areas in the entire park. After checking out this overlook hikers can travel around the lake in a loop, visit Hidden Falls, and Inspiration Point, or travel into the backcountry up Cascade Canyon toward Lake Solitude.

The Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve Center is a unique smaller Visitor Center dedicated to welcoming people to the The Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve, a 1,106 acre nature refuge within the Grand Teton National Park. Open daily in the late spring through mid-fall, this LEED certified building offers guests a variety of exhibits such as high definition nature videos, large-scale photography, and a soundscape room with nature recordings from the Preserve, a reading room, recordings of Mr. Rockefeller speaking about conservation, and a poem written by Terry Tempest Williams that links all of these exhibits together. You can also attend ranger-led programs, ask questions, get information on trails, and use the composting bathroom facilities. This Visitor Center is a great place to stop before exploring The Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve.

Taggart Lake and neighbouring Bradley Lake are lovely objectives for a hike. Both lakes are nestled just below the Teton Range and the mightily impressive Grand Teton, one of the American continent's most recognisable peaks. The sight of these magnificent mountains reflected in the waters is one of the finest sights you'll ever see.

The views of the mountains and nature are magnificent.
