What To Do While in the Park
There are numerous recreational activities in which the visitor may participate, and the park roads afford many vantage points from which to enjoy the magnificence of the Teton Range and the valley of Jackson Hole. Side roads lead to important points of interest, such as the Snake River, Two Ocean Lake, Signal Mountain, Hedrick’s Point, Saw Mill Ponds, Gros Ventre Slide, and many others.
Trails
Although the trail system of Grand Teton National Park is not completed, numerous trails and side roads are maintained for the visitor. Additional trails are planned, and existing secondary trails in the newly acquired portions of the park will be developed. The more than 130 miles of trails that now exist in the park are described below.
The Lakes Trail runs parallel to the mountains, following closely the base of the range and skirting the shore of each large body of water from Leigh Lake at the north to Phelps Lake at the south. Trails completely encircle Leigh, String, and Jenny Lakes.
The Teton Glacier Trail extends up the east slope of the Grand Teton to Surprise and Amphitheater Lakes, unfolding matchless panoramas of the surrounding country. Amphitheater Lake is the starting point for the climb to the Teton Glacier.
The Indian Paintbrush Canyon Trail starts near the outlet of Leigh Lake and follows up the bottom of the Indian Paintbrush Canyon to connect with the Cascade Canyon Trail by way of Lake Solitude, near the head of the north fork of Cascade Canyon.
