8. Over The River And Through The Woods… And Up The Rock Stairs

From Hidden Falls, we followed the signs that took us another half a mile to Inspiration Point. The dirt trail had exposed roots and several switchbacks as we climbed rock stairs to a great view of Jenny Lake.

9. Get Inspired At Inspiration Point

At a 7,200-foot elevation, the views from Inspiration Point are inspiring. We sat down on the rocks, grabbed a snack from our backpacks, and took it all in. There was much to take in. We could see Jackson Hole Valley, Cascade Canyon, and a collection of mountains called the “Cathedral Group” (Mount Owen, Teewinot, and the named mountain that inspired it all: Grand Teton).

We also saw a tiny speck of a boat zooming across Jenny Lake. Sure enough, that was the boat shuttle that would take us from the West Dock back to the visitor center.
