hiking

Easily the most popular summer activity in Jackson, there are so many trails in Jackson and the nearby national parks that it would be impossible to explore them all in just one visit. And while there are trails located all over Jackson Hole—near town, on Teton Pass, and in Teton Village—if you only have an afternoon or a couple of days to hike, then we recommend heading straight to the trails in Grand Teton National Park. Find some of our favorites below.
Phelps Lake and Death Canyon at the Launceston S. Rockefeller Preserve
Take an easy to moderate hike around Phelps Lake or to its overlook, or opt for something longer into Death Canyon. Start from the Laurence Rockefeller Preserve visitor center and parking area south of the moose visitor’s center.
Granite Canyon
This area offers moderate to difficult hikes, depending on the duration. For an all-day challenge (and large elevation gain), hikers can take Granite Canyon all the way to the top of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort aerial tram.
Surprise & Amphitheater Lakes
Difficult due to the elevation gain, this hike is a Jackson favorite. The round-trip hike to both lakes is ten miles, but the climb covers 3,000 vertical feet in just five. Allow yourself plenty of time by getting an early start.
Bradley & Taggart Lakes
A mellow option in southern Grand Teton National Park, this area is usually less busy than Jenny Lake. The round-trip hike to both lakes is just about five miles, with only 500 feet of elevation gain. The parking lot is located 2.5 miles from the Moose Visitor Center.
Leigh, Bearpaw & Trapper Lakes
Ready for stunning views of the Tetons? Then this is the hike for you. Commencing at the String Lake parking lot, this straightforward and flat hike travels north and offers views of the sheer north faces of the most popular Teton peaks.
Jenny Lake and Hidden Falls
Easily the most famous hike in Grand Teton National Park, hikers can loop around Jenny Lake and continue on to Hidden Falls, or they can cut down on the hike by riding the boat shuttle across the lake. Great for families with young children, this hike is a Jackson Hole classic.
