Jenny Lake – Grand Tetons

Jenny Lake – Grand Tetons

Today was Jenny Lake day, probably one of the most popular areas in the park. There are many trails to hike around the lake and is 240 feet deep. I decided to take the boat across to hike up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration point. Guess I didn’t learn from my hike in Yellowstone. Anyway, got there early, this place is packed by noon, cars parked out on the road. So Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point is a almost 6 miles round trip, but here is the kicker, 870 feet elevation climb up the mountain. Some parts of the trail was closer to rock climbing than walking a trail. Half way up was thinking of returning, but since I was that close, only live once. I went for it and was was great. Still not used to the elevation and I am not the only one I found out. Anyway a beautiful walk up, there were some points in the trail that there was just rock on one side and a cliff down on the other. My foot slipped on the way down, surprised I didn’t shit myself.

It appears that when I am one vacation or traveling, I get more exercise than when I am at home. One of the pictures has the dock and inspiration point in a red box to try to show the elevation up. I ended the day at Deadman’s Bar in the lodge by the campground I am staying at. Had some Jenny Lake Lager and fish tacos (Trout), the best fish tacos I have ever eaten. Tomorrow I start my trip back, hope to get some pics from top of signal mountain in the morning, today it was to foggy.
