Day 6- Gramd Teton

Hi All,

Today we took inspiration from Jim & Evalyn and the four of us hiked to Inspiration Point and beyond.

The trip starts with a boat trip across Jenny Lake

Early stages of the trail gave hints of views to come

The lower trail followed this beautiful cascade 

More beautiful cascades

Hidden Falls

Above Hidden Falls the views get nicer as the trail gets steeper

This section is much steeper than it looks. From the falls to Inspiration Point is a half mile and gains 500 feet in elevation!

Inspiration Point was a lovely view across Jenny Lake. Unfortunately it was directly into the morning sun, hence no decent photos. Another quarter mile past Inspiration Point we earned better vistas of the Tetons.

A quiet afternoon and an evening ranger program about climbing Grand Teton concluded another great day.

Love,
