If you’re heading for Grand Teton National Park and you enjoy hiking, this US park in Wyoming has several different hiking trails from which to choose. If you’re unsure of which trails to take, here are some Grand Teton hikes you should not miss.

Grand Teton Hikes You Should Not Miss

1. The Delta Lake Hike

Delta Lake is a gorgeous glacial lake with stunning turquoise water. The hike is rated “hard” and has an elevation of 2,329 feet. The total distance out and back is 8.8 miles.

Only a part of the trail is maintained by the National Park Service, so it doesn’t appear on an official park map. You will also have to scramble over boulders. Despite the challenges though, it remains one of the best hikes here.

Get to the park early so you can park in the Lupine Meadows Trailhead parking lot. The hike begins on the popular Valley Trail. If you use electronics, you can download an app that will allow you to use GPS to help you navigate.

The Taggart Lake

This easy 4.1-mile loop hike has an elevation of just 429 feet. You will enjoy wonderful views of the famous Teton Mountain Range as you hike by streams, open fields, and Aspen groves to this lovely lake. This loop trail is recommended over the out-and-back trail.

If you are a foliage aficionado, go in the fall. Whenever you do go, keep a lookout for black bears, elk, and moose too. The loop is less crowded once you reach the lake.

Hike the loop in a counterclockwise direction. There is less of a gain in elevation. The Taggart Lake trailhead is on Teton Park Road. Try to reach the lake early while the lake is still calm. The reflection is beautiful.
