While there are trails located all over Jackson Hole, if you have a couple of days to hike, then we recommend heading straight to the trails in Grand Teton National Park. Find some of our favorite adventures listed below.

​

Phelps Lake and Death Canyon at the

Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve

Take an easy to moderate hike around Phelps Lake or opt for something longer into Death Canyon. Start from the Laurance Rockefeller Preserve visitor center and parking area, south OF the Moose Visitor’s Center. (Note that parking can be a challenge – best to arrive very early to ensure you get a spot)

​

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.  Take the train back down to Teton Village for a chance to explore and enjoy a well-earned beverage of choice!

​

Surprise & Amphitheater Lakes

Difficult due to the elevation gain, this hike is a Jackson favorite. The round-trip hike to both lakes is 10 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 5 miles, with only 500 feet of elevation gain. The parking lot is located 2.5 miles from the Moose Visitor Center.

​

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. (Note that parking can be a challenge – best to arrive very early to ensure you get a spot)
