cascade canyon trail印象

The boat ride across Jenny Lake was nice. The hike to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point was also real nice. After that the part in Cascade Canyon was just OK. There weren't beautiful vistas as we expected. We went to the 4 mile point and it didn't change much. One hike we liked quite a bit was to Phelps Lake which begins at the Laurence Rockefeller Preserve. But do hike as far as Inspiration Point.

We did this hike from the visitor centre around Jenny Lake via Hidden Falls and Inspiration Pt. Through Cascade Valley its your choice how far you keep hiking.As there is boat access across the lake a lot of non or inexperienced hikers make their way to check out Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point so it becomes akin to a New York sidewalk in peak hour but just have patience push on and enjoy the amazing scenery of the Canyon. Unfortunately we weren't lucky enough to see much wildlife but the scenery was enough.

There are easy sections & more steep sections. The air is thin for those visiting from sea level altitudes. Take your time & enjoy. The water views are awesome. Go past Inspiration Point.

We hiked up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point and the weather was so nice we continued up the Cascade Canyon Trail. It's a nice hike (no facilities at all so bring water and food with you) with just a little scrambling. We didn't make it all the way to the canyon because it was getting late and we didn't want to miss the Jenny Lake Ferry and while we had snacks with us, I was getting hungry!

After reaching Inspiration Point, we hiked further up the Cascade Canyon Trail. We're glad that we did. We enjoyed views of the mountain stream along the way and were rewarded with another cascading fall, (We had seen Hidden Falls on the way to Inspiration Point.) Along with other hikers, we found a seat on the rocks and enjoyed the sight and sounds of the falling water while we enjoyed our snack lunch and water. You don't have to walk all the way up the trail; just walk as far as you enjoy and then head back down the trail. Once back at the boat dock, we were glad that we had purchased the round trip boat ride for a quick ride back across the lake. If you plan to hike Cascade Canyon Trail, be sure to take water and a lunch or snack. Also be sure to make noise along the way since it is bear country.

Unless you have too much energy, plan to take the boat across Jenny Lake. Hike up from the dock stopping at Hidden Falls. Uphill from there the trail gets steeper and in places narrower to Inspiration Point (although the one switchback looks like your at Inspiration Point, it's still uphill from there. From Inspiration Point to the forks of Cascade Trail is basically a gradual uphill - nothing like the climb to Inspiration Point. After about a 1/2 mile your view opens up in the canyon. The mountains are on both sides and sometimes the trail goes through boulder fields and sometimes trees. It's a long round trip, but if you have time (remember to make it for the last boat or you have to add 2 miles around Jenny Lake) the hike to Lake Solitude is rewarding. All in all a very nice hike!!!

We hiked from the Jenny Lake visitors' centre to Inspiration point, and then carried on to Cascade Canyon. This allowed us to benefit from a few miles of quiet walking before we hit the crowds at Inspiration Point, and then several miles of quiet walking thereafter. Most visitors take the boat across the Lake, then walk up to Inspiration Point and back. If you walk a little further, you'll be rewarded with peace and quiet. The hike is varied, with wooded Lake-side walking, views down onto the Lake, views up to the Tetons, and meadow-side walking in the Canyon. Apart from a short climb at Inspiration Point, it is relatively flat.Note - we stumbled across a black bear on the path between the visitors centre and Inspiration Falls. Luckily, it responded well to us backing away. A little reminder to keep clapping and talking!

for an easy short hike from Inspiration Point to where you get some nice views where the mountains first 'open up'. The hike from Hidden Falls to Inspiration Point is more difficult, so take a break DRINK some water and go a bit further. Do not get too tired because the hike back down from Inspiration Point is more treacherous if you are tired. There are 3 areas you can stop along the way to Inspiration Point and all have wonderful views.

This is about 9.6 miles round trip. Most people only go up to Inspiration point (VERY busy) which is about 2 miles from the trail head. If you want to escape the crowds, hike beyond Inspiration point. The first part of the hike is quite steep so take your time. After that the trail is mostly flat.If you go deeper into the canyon there is a good chance of seeing wildlife. It looked like excellent bear habitat and you go along the river most of the time so there is a chance of spotting moose. We went at the end of August and there were hardly any people on the trail once we passed Inspiration point. The canyon is beautiful, peaceful and quiet.

Well worth the walk but it is very isolated as you get towards Inspiration Point! Views towards the falls both ways are reward enough for your efforts
