Hidden Falls — Local services in Driggs

I would give Hidden Falls 4.5 stars. There are two ways that you can visit Hidden Falls. The first is my taking the boat over and then it's a very short hike. The other way is hiking to it along Jenny Lake Trail.

There are many people who take the boat over and do Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point and then leave. For this reason the first mile of trails after getting off the boat are heavily trafficked with tons of people and families. For this reason, if you do come visit Hidden Falls, I would recommend doing it early in the morning. We did the Cascade Canyon Trail around 8:30am and visited this on the way down around 11:30am and it was packed with people and kids running around so go early to avoid the crowds.

The waterfall is beautiful! It's not hidden as the name would suggest since it's highly trafficked. We didn't stay long (only about a minute) because all the people and kids running around took away from the feeling of being surrounded by nature and at peace, although we are...

This review is for Hidden Falls via String Lake Trail which was a 4.6 miles round trip that took 2.5 hours to complete.

This was a stunning hike from beginning to end. Another popular trail but not overly crowded near end of day. Trail was narrow and flat with a few minor inclines. There was still snow after you cross the last bridge towards the viewpoint of the waterfall but do-able without spikes.

The trail does not take you up close to the waterfall but only viewable from a distance. Jenny Lake reminds me of Crater Lake in Oregon; not because of the color but due to the sheer size. Beautiful views of the Teton Range, String Lake, Jenny Lake, Hidden Falls and the surrounding area!

Carry bear spray; the chances of encountering a bear is lower at popular trails but you never know.

Short video of the hike for those interested!...

Jenny Lake hike to the Hidden Falls -Jenny Lake is one of the most popular attractions in Grand Teton National Park. You can hike the 6 mile circle around the lake, or take the ferry across the lake to save time and energy (you can always hike the 2.5 miles back.) Reservations aren’t required for the ferry. There is a ferry every 20 minutes between 8am-6pm. It is recommended to take the ferry at least one direction to get the best views both on hike and on ferry.

From the boat dock, a trail will lead you up an elevation of 450 feet with a 2.2 mile round trip to Inspiration Point. The trail crosses Cascade Canyon Creek, but the way is clearly marked to continue upwards to Inspiration Point. We even saw a moose there. Along the way, you will pass a short side trail that leads to Hidden Falls, one of the easy accessible waterfalls of Grand Teton...
