12. Pack A Picnic Lunch To Eat When You Finish The Hike

More than once, Dean and I enjoyed sandwiches, grapes, chips, and water from our small cooler at the end of a hike. These simple foods never tasted so good, especially when eaten on a park bench as you gaze upon the majestic Grand Teton mountains.

13. Watch For Pronghorn On Teton Park Road

As we were leaving the Jenny Lake area, we saw a herd of about a dozen pronghorns. They were in a meadow, and they timidly approached Teton Park Road to cross it.

This was a paved two-lane road and the only way in and out of Jenny Lake Visitor Center, so it was busy. Along with others, we had pulled over to the side of the road, and the group of pronghorns crossed safely, as cars stopped to let them cross.

I will never forget the mirrored reflections on Jenny Lake, the magnificent mountain view leaving Inspiration Point, or the private shuttle boat ride. Those are part of the travel memories I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I hope these tips help you enjoy the Jenny Lake Loop Trail; it’s a beautiful hike with a lot of payoffs in views and scenery in beautiful Grand Teton National Park.
